here is the Schedule from WISC-DT in Madison:
CBS has set their HD schedule for the upcoming NCAA Basketball tournament.  The following will be broadcast in High Definition and in 5.1 surround:

Friday 3/19:       All games originating from Kansas City

Sunday 3/21:     All games originating from Kansas City

Friday 3/26:       All games originating from St. Louis

Sunday 3/28:     All games originating from St. Louis

Saturday 4/3:     Both games

Monday 4/5       Championship Game

WISC DT will broadcast these games in HD and 5.1 surround except when the Badgers play. Unfortunately the site that the Badgers play will not be delivered in HD.  When the Badgers play we will switch our digital station to the upconverted analog program to show the Badger game, then return to the HD schedule after the Badger game concludes.

Here is the WISC DT broadcast schedule for Friday March 19:

11:30 AM        Memphis / South Carolina (in HD)

1:50 PM Oklahoma State / Eastern Washington (in HD)

6:20 PM Wisconsin / Richmond (NOT in HD)

8:45 PM Kansas / Illinois-Chicago (in HD)

All games on Sunday that originate from Kansas City will be broadcast on WISC DT in HD.  Again, if the Badgers advance and play on Sunday, we will switch to the Badger game whenever it happens on Sunday and then resume any HD game still playing or to be played following the Badger game.
