When I found it this morning I was relieved I can actually plan my game watching for Thursday instead of scrambling around last minute...... But I looked over this and found that the info for KYW in Philly was wrong for UNC-Ark yesterday. The memphis game was rolling with NO UNC game coverage for at least 15 min into the UNC-Ark game....at which point we ran around trying to get our 2 yo dressed to run out to a sports bar to watch the game. KYW in Philly should be called out for going against what was planned. (I'm in Newark, DE and watch through comcast out of new castle. We get KYW version of CBS) I think that NCAA should stop negotiating this conference with only 1 network, especially one who cannot provide complete coverage for all the games. Perhaps whenever the network can't show all the games with its available channels we should be able to purchase single game coverage (yes, REAL pay-per-view not pay-per-package) OR the NCAA should negotiate game coverage with more than 1 network. This is America and I feel like I'm locked somewhere inside a backwards communist country....the live satellite coverage is there and the technology is there....but we can't buy it without spending hundreds of dollars and getting coverage for a bunch of games we don't need or want.

We have asked for them, but they indicated that they were not releasing them. The maps we have posted were not received from CBS.

What would really be ideal would be if CBS would just post it in a visible place on their website, the way ABC often does with football.
