CBS/Turner Announces Tip Times for Elite 8 on Sunday, March 25

We now have the official tip times from CBS/Turner for the second half of the Regional Finals this weekend. As is the case for Saturday, CBS will handle the Midwest and South Regions as the Turner networks’ commitments are over.

So the South Regional Final between Baylor and overall Tournament #1 seed Kentucky with Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg and Tracy Wolfson will be on the call on CBS at 2:20 p.m.

And the Midwest Regional Final featuring two historic programs, Kansas and North Carolina will be scheduled for 5:05 p.m. to called by Marv Albert, Steve Kerr and Craig Sager.

First time in years that Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg won’t be calling the late Sunday game. But this is the correct scheduling.

The NCAA Tournament coverage on Sunday begins with NCAA Tip-Off on truTV at 1 p.m. ET and CBS begins at 2 p.m. with Road to the Final Four.

Here’s the CBS/Turner announcement on the Sunday tip times.
