Dates and times for Pacers-Bucks series set
2024 NBA Playoffs - Indiana Pacers v Milwaukee Bucks While the date and start time for Game 1 of the Bucks' opening round series with the Pacers came out a few days ago, we now know what the rest of the series is looking like from a date perspective. We also know a few of the tip times and broadcasters, so let's run them down: Advertisement Game 1 - Saturday, April 19th, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 12 p.m. CDT, ESPN Game 2 - Tuesday, April 22nd, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 6 p.m. CDT, NBA TV Game 3 - Friday, April 25th, Fiserv Forum, 7 p.m. CDT, ESPNU & NBA TV Game 4 - Sunday, April 7th, Fiserv Forum, 8:30 p.m. CDT, TNT Game 5 (if necessary) - Tuesday, April 29, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, time and broadcaster TBA Game 6 (if necessary) - Friday, May 2, Fiserv Forum, time and broadcaster TBA Game 7 (if necessary) - Sunday, May 4, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, time and broadcaster TBA As always, first-round games is also handled by each team's local broadcasters, so you can see each of them on FanDuel Sports Wisconsin with Lisa Byington and Marques Johnson. ESPNU for an NBA game is a new one—probably has something to do with the NFL Draft. Otherwise, only one national game is banished to NBA TV, so that's good at least. You'll note not one, not two, but three two-day breaks in the series. You might think Easter Sunday has something to do with this, but it's not as if games aren't happening that day, as the four series that don't tip off the day before will on the holiday. Maybe the league wants Clippers-Nuggets and Pistons-Knicks to have their own night due to the country's two largest media markets being involved. It's pretty common for a series to take two days off in between games at one point in the series, usually when the series is shifting from one city to another. That's what happened between Games 2 and 3 last spring when these two teams met. Seemingly every year, two days off happen between home games in at least one series around the league, and that's what the Bucks and Pacers will have early next week. Immediately taking another two days off as the series moves to Milwaukee is kind of interesting, but what's really bizarre is how they will have a third two-day break between Games 5 and 6, if necessary. I've seen two pairs, I'm not sure I've ever seen a series scheduled with three pairs of consecutive days off. However, I doubt you'll find the Bucks or any of their fans complaining about this extra rest, especially between what could be some of the more crucial games in the series. The Bucks are no longer one of the NBA's oldest teams—without 34-year-old Damian Lillard, the only rotation players they have over age 31 are Taurean Prince and Brook Lopez—thanks to their deadline moves, so they'll happily take more time for Lillard's recovery. Perhaps the player who will benefit the most is Giannis, given the large role he'll likely have carrying the offense, which led the league in offensive rating over the season's final two weeks.

Derik Queen's buzzer-beater over Colorado State got a perfect call from Lisa Byington
Derik Queen's buzzer-beater over Colorado State got a perfect call from Lisa Byington The first few days of March Madness were pretty standard, all things considered. A bit on the boring side, some might say. However, Derik Queen and the Maryland Terrapins had other ideas on Sunday night. In the 2025 NCAA men's tournament's first major "MARCH!" moment, Queen lifted Maryland over Colorado State on a last-second buzzer-beater lob. Mere moments before, No. 12 Colorado State landed a major 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds to play to take the 71-70 lead over No. 4 Maryland. However, the Terrapins were able to call their final timeout and get some breathing room before making the definitive play. After the timeout, Queen took the inbound pass and dashed toward the side of the rim. He was then able to take a floating shot with a mere second remaining that bounced off the glass and in! The play was already incredible, but Lisa Byington's call of the moment really makes it special. In the lead up to the NCAA tournament, Maryland had been on the wrong side of a handful of buzzer-beaters against this season. To hear Byington call "on the right side of a buzzer-beater!" had to feel cathartic for Maryland fans after some real bad late losses earlier in the year. This is March, folks!

What channel is Oregon vs Liberty on today? Time, TV schedule for March Madness game
What channel is Oregon vs Liberty on today? Time, TV schedule for March Madness game The most anticipated four-day stretch in college athletics is finally here, with the 2025 NCAA Tournament getting underway on Thursday morning. For the Oregon Ducks, it is a long wait for their first-round game against the Liberty Flames to tip-off, seeing as they will play in the final game of the first round on Friday night. It should be a fun game for Duck fans, many of whom will be traveling up to Seattle for the game to root on their team. The matchup on the floor will be entertaining as well, with the styles of play contrasting in a way between Oregon and Liberty that could lead to a lot of fireworks. Liberty is a team that is going to try and shoot the lights out if nothing else. They have made 39% of their 3-pointers this year, which ranks as the sixth-best in the nation. However, size is an issue for them, as no player on the Flames' roster stands taller than 6-foot-8. Meanwhile, Oregon is built with size, led by 7-footer Nate Bittle, who has been playing the best basketball of his career this season. In a 5-vs-12 game, potential upsets always loom, but the Ducks are considered favorites for a reason. They should be able to move on to the round of 32, where they would face either Akron or Arizona on Sunday.
