March Madness 2013: Women's NCAA Tournament Rounds 1 & 2 TV information

The last of our tourneys to be published is the Women's NCAA Tournament. This isn't because I hate the women's NCAA Tourney. On the contrary. It is being published last solely because it is the last of the tourneys to start. When you have a limited amount of time to write up articles and edit preexisitng articles to update match-ups, then you have to focus on doing the tournaments that start the soonest first. With the women's NCAA Tourney not starting until Saturday, the major women's tournament ends up being done last.

All games Saturday- Monday will air on ESPN2. ESPN2 will air a mixture of games for most of the nation. However if you want to watch 1 game and not be rotated from site-to-site, all the games will be available on ESPN3. ESPN will also do some regional blocking for games. For example the state of Texas is guaranteed to see the Baylor, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M games on ESPN2. Those games will be blacked out on ESPN3 for the state of Texas.

On Tuesday the games could appear on ESPN2, ESPNU, or ESPNEWS. As ESPN confirms which game will air on which network, I will post it below. 

Now sit back and enjoy learning what time and which announcers you can expect for your favorite women's squad. It's all part of staying on top of the Madness with Eye on Sky and Air Sports, an Atomic Reach March Madness community site.
