The title pretty much says it all: the MSU - UCLA game will tip-off at approximately 9:20 (EDT) on Thursday. Television coverage is via TBS, which is good because many cable systems carry TBS in HD but don't carry TruTV HD. (Sorry, Michigan fans.) Your commentators are Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkle. The full TV schedule for first round games is available here.
Oh, and St. Patrick's Day + late NCAA Tournament game tipoff + Burgerama and other assorted Thursday bar specials = potential East Lansing madness. Students of MSU, please, let's keep things at least relatively in control.
