Wisconsin Badgers and the Xavier Musketeers are two college basketball teams with a lot of history. On Mar. 20 these two giants of the game go head-to-head in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32, in what should be an intriguing contest. But where can you watch it and what time does it start? Let HollywoodLife.com answer these questions for you by clicking down!
1. What time does the game start and what channel can I watch it on?
Wisconsin and Xavier do battle in the evening game at 8.40 p.m. EST. There are various ways of seeing the game, including watching it online here, or on the CBS affiliated TV channel TNT. It'll be a late finish on the East Coast, but it'll be well worth it!
2. How did both teams get to the Round of 32?
The Badgers won ugly against the Pittsburgh Panthers, just edging a tight contest 47-43 in an exceptionally low-scoring game that was dominated by poor shooting accuracy and aggressive defense. Xavier were a little more graceful, avoiding an upset against #15 seed Weber State with an easy 71-53 win.
3. Who's the key battle between?
It's the two forwards that will be going face-to-face that you'll need to keep an eye on. 6'10 senior James Farr was sensational against Weber, scoring a double-double. He managed 18 points and 15 rebounds in a commanding performance that demonstrated his power. But Wisconsin's Vitto Brown has showed he can be a consistent scorer. In his past 11 college games he's made 51.1% of his three-point throw attempts. Overall, he's averaging 12.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
