BracketBusters TV schedule and listing of every game

One ESPN announced the TV portion of its BracketBuster event for Feb. 17 and 18, a few things immediately became apparent:


  • Fans got at least two killer matchups in St. Mary’s-Murray State and Long Beach State-Creighton. They should be great games and they also provide each team with a chance to help their at-large NCAA tournament résumé. (A loss won’t sink them, either.)
  • Why out Valpo-Loyola-Marymount on Friday? Couldn’t one of the two killer matchups have been slotted there?
  • The rest of the lineups are hit-and-miss. Wichita State either adds a mostly meaningless W or its profile takes a hit with a loss at Davidson (not sure ESPN had any other options, though). ODU-Missouri State and UNI-VCU are decent matchups, but lack a little sizzle.
  • Travel’s gonna be a bear (as always). Nevada heads across the country to face Iona. St. Mary’s does almost the same thing. Valpo and Wichita State aren’t in much better shape.

Anyway, here’s the rest of the TV schedule. Rob’s doing a complete breakdown later.
