Cougars are one of seven teams to be featured during NCAA Tournament
Turner Sports and CBS Sports' joint coverage of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship will include the return of NCAA March Madness Confidential, providing exclusive, behind-the-scenes access.
The Cougars are one of seven teams from across the nation in this year's Confidential series, joining Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Nevada, Marquette and Murray State.
The third-seeded and No. 11/9 Houston (31-3, 16-2 The American) opens the NCAA Tournament when it faces No. 14 seed Georgia State at 6:20 p.m., Friday, inside the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. That game can be seen on TBS and can be heard on KPRC 950 AM.
This marks the second straight season Houston has been selected for the NCAA Tournament, a first since 1983-84.
Production crews have been embedded with the teams since Selection Sunday and will chronicle their NCAA Tournament journeys.
Throughout the Tournament, features will run across multiple platforms – including studio coverage across TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV – with online distribution via the official @MarchMadness Twitter and Facebook pages, @MarchMadnessTV,NCAA.com and CBS Sports and Turner Sports social media accounts.
For the ninth consecutive year, Turner Sports and CBS Sports will provide live coverage of all 67 games from the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship across four national television networks – TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV – and NCAA March Madness Live. This year's tournament will tip off with the NCAA First Four™ on truTV on Tuesday, March 19 and Wednesday, March 20 (6 p.m. ET, both days).
CBS will broadcast this year's NCAA Final Four National Semifinals on Saturday, April 6, along with the National Championship on Monday, April 8.
