CBS has announced the schedule for next week’s March Madness games, with the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Final Four set to tip off at 6:09 p.m. ET in San Antonio, Texas.

The Final Four will once again feature the commentary team of play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle, along with analysts Bill Raftery and Grant Hill, marking their second Final Four together after Eagle replaced Jim Nantz as the lead voice of the tournament last year. If Auburn wins its Elite Eight game, it will mark the second time in history that all four No. 1 seeds reach the Final Four, which bodes well for March Madness viewership; despite popular belief, top teams often attract more viewers than Cinderella stories.
The NCAA men’s basketball championship game will be contested the Monday following the Final Four and has been moved up by 30 minutes from its traditional start time, now beginning at 8:50 p.m. ET instead of the usual 9:20 p.m. ET.
