NCAA tournament 2017 TV schedule and announcers: Who is calling 1st-round games

There’s something uniquely manic about the first weekend of March Madness. So many games are going on, you know you can’t watch them all. The matchups are taking place at various arenas all across the country, and it’s impossible to keep track of what location a certain game is happening in if you’re constantly skipping between channels.

It’s a unique experience for announcers, too. A single crew will announce all four games that happen on Thursday or Friday, bringing in the widely recognizable announcers and people you’ve likely never heard of. Working four games in a day is incredible.

You can see the full NCAA tournament bracket here, which will update live throughout the tournament. If you’re looking for printable brackets, go here.

Here are the times, locations, and channels for every game, along with the announcing crew. Generally, the first name is the play-by-play announcer, the second is the color commentator, and the third (and fourth, if applicable) will work the sidelines.
