Coach K is already out of the tournament, but with his annoying State Farm commercial airing throughout March Madness, you might just get sick of him today anyway. CBS also televises some basketball around those commercials, and here's some of what you'll see:The day begins with three games at noon, Virginia-Albany, UNLV-Georgia Tech and Memphis-North Texas. That last one will be a blowout by the first TV timeout, but the other two could make for intriguing match-ups: Keep an eye on Albany as a potential upset.
When Notre Dame and Winthrop tip off in Spokane, Washington at 2:30 ET, we'll have four games going on at once. The best might just be Nevada-Creighton, which ought to provide us with a much better game of mid-majors than Butler and Old Dominion gave us yesterday.
The dullest moment of the day comes at around 6 ET, when CBS takes a break for the news in the East. No offense intended to Katie Couric, but when most of the country is watching her and the rest of the country is stuck with a likely-to-be-boring Oregon-Miami (Ohio) game, that'll be the right time to take a nap.
But at 7 things get interesting: Four games include Kevin Durant leading Texas against New Mexico State, a good 8-9 game of Arizona against Purdue, a 12 that could knock off a 5 in Illinois-Virginia Tech, and perhaps the best team in the country, Kansas, taking on play-in winner Niagra.
In the nightcap we get small-school Southern Illinois taking on smaller-school Holy Cross, another good 8-9 game in Kentucky-Villanova, another possible 12-5 upset in Arkansas-USC and another team with a claim for being the best in the country as Florida take on Jackson State.
Even if you're disappointed after yesterday's action, cheer up. Today we have 12 more hours of basketball, and they're pretty much guaranteed to be more exciting.

As a very much dedicated fan of the Phoenix Suns,please change Shawn M. from guarding Parker if we are going to win this series, he leaves a lot of space between him and Parker. I think Bank will do a better job. Parker does not need any space between him and any defender.
Thanks
