MARCH Madness fans have been left furious after broadcast details for the next round were confirmed.
The NCAA Tournament is down to the last-16 stage after a frantic few days.
Fans have enjoyed four straight days of wall to wall games from midday until the early hours.
But there is a huge change in store for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.
The NCAA confirmed tip-off times and broadcast details for the next round on Thursday and Friday.
There will be four games on both days with the next stage following on Saturday and Sunday.
After this week, there will be just four teams remaining to head to the Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.
Thursday’s action will begin at 7.09 pm ET with the last of four games tipping off at 10.09 pm ET.
And Friday will feature exactly the same setup.
Fans are furious that the games will all overlap and they’re not being placed across the course of the day.
“What are these times?!” one fan raged.
“Space them out! Only four games a day and you put them all within four hours of each other.
“Also a game starting at 10 pm is crazy.”
Another posted on X, “Games starting at 10 pm when there’s four games will never make sense to me.”
While a third said, “Late night on Thursday!
“Several eastern and central teams need to do a major time reset.
“Not fair for the coastal west to have a time advantage.”
And another implored, “Let’s get these games rolling a few hours earlier.”
CBS will show a double-header both nights with games at 7.09 pm ET and 9.39 pm ET.
Thursday’s games in Newark, New Jersey will see BYU take on Alabama and Arizona face Duke.
On Friday CBS will show the games from Atlanta, Georgia.
First up will be Ole Miss against Michigan State followed by Michigan taking on Auburn.
TBS and TruTV will also show a double-header both nights.
Their Thursday action from San Francisco, California begins with Maryland against Florida at 7.39 pm ET.
And at 10.09 pm ET, they will show Arkansas face off against Texas Tech.
On Friday night, TBS has Kentucky vs Tennessee from Indianapolis, Indiana in the earlier slot.
And the final game will be at 10.09 pm ET between Purdue and Houston.
