The Cincinnati Bearcats are a 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will face the 12 seed Harvard Crimson in Spokane, Washington. That much we knew until late last night when the details about UC’s opening round game were revealed.

Cincinnati and Harvard will be among the first games in the NCAA Tournament, tipping off at 2:10 pm EST (11:10 local) at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena. If you can’t make the cross-country trip, it will be aired on TNT and since it’s the first contest on that network, should start on time. Your announcing team includes Spero Dedes on play-by-play, Doug Gottlieb as the in house analyst, and the ever radiant Jaime Maggio as the sideline reporter.

That’s about everything we need to know about the game. All that’s left is to play the darn thing!

So, in summation:

  • Tip Off Time: 2:10 PM EST
  • Location: Spokane, Washington
  • Arena: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena
  • Network: TNT
  • Play-By-Play: Spero Dedes
  • Analyst: Doug Gottlieb
  • Sideline Reporter: Jaime Maggio
