The Louisville Cardinals will start their 2015 NCAA Tournament journey on Friday against 13th-seeded UC Irvine in a game that will tip-off 30 minutes after the end of the 1:40 p.m. game between Northern Iowa and Wyoming. So, that's an approximate tip-time of 4:10 p.m. .... start drafting the excuses now.
The Cards game will be carried on TBS, with an announcing team of Spero Dedes, Mike Gminsk, and Jaime Maggio calling the action.
Here's the full lineup of times, television and announcing teams for the tournament's opening two rounds:
