The best moments from the first two weeks of March Madness

Saturday’s first NCAA Men’s Final Four game will tip off at 6:09 p.m. ET with Illinois — making their first Final Four appearance in 21 years — taking on UConn, making their third Final Four appearance in four years.
Following the first game, Michigan will make their return to the Final Four for the first time since 2018, matching up against Arizona, who will make their first Final Four appearance in a quarter century.
Ian Eagle will call the action alongside analysts Grant Hill and Bill Raftery and reporter Tracy Wolfson for the third year. Gene Steratore will serve as rules analyst for the seventh straight year.
NCAA Men’s Final Four pregame coverage will tip off at 3 p.m. ET on TBS, TNT, and truTV with The Final Four Show Built by The Home Depot, live from Indianapolis. Adam Lefkoe will host alongside analysts Jamal Mashburn, Candace Parker, Jalen Rose, and Chris Webber.
