Tomorrow's TV games

Well, we know what games we're getting tomorrow and Friday...

Thursday:

7:10 p.m.: 4. Southern Illinois vs. 1. Kansas (San Jose)
9:40 p.m.: 3. Pittsburgh vs. 2. UCLA (San Jose)


Friday, March 23:

7:27 p.m.: 6. Vanderbilt vs. 2. Georgetown (East Rutherford)
9:57 p.m: 5. USC vs. 1. North Carolina (East Rutherford)

It's a shame that we aren't getting Texas A&M-Memphis, which could well be the best game of the Sweet 16. And by getting both San Jose games we won't hear any of Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery. But I would expect liberal doses of the two San Antonio games (the above and Ohio State-Tennessee), especially as the San Jose games tip 17 minutes earlier than the San Antonio games do and will thus end earlier.

As for Friday, no surprise that we're getting the two Meadowlands games. Those are definitely the two to watch, so no complaints.

Also, there's a poll on the sports page of Philly.com asking how many of your Sweet 16 picks are still alive. Go vote in it.

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
