The National Championship game rematch is officially set, as 11-seed Michigan upended 3-seed Tennessee, while 2-seed Villanova took down 6-seed Ohio State in the round of 32. Both teams will move south to San Antonio, where the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight will take place for the NCAA Southern Tournament.
But when will they play and on what channel?
CBS announced the next round of matchups while some games were still in progress, but noted the tipping time and channel for the highly anticipated matchup. The game airs Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on TBS with Brian Anderson, Jim Jackson, and Allie LaForce on call.
The two teams met in the 2018 National Championship game – also in San Antonio – where Villanova won thanks to Donte DiVincenzo’s heroism in a 79-62 loss to the Wolverines. The two teams met again at Villanova Campus in November 2018, where Michigan won the rematch, winning 73-46.
According to KenPom, this time the Wildcats are the number 10 team in the country with the eighth-ranked offensive line in the 30th defense. The Wolverines are 28th nationally, with the 19th ranked offensive line and the 78th defense.
