Final Four broadcast plans

Many already know this, but there will be live video coverage from both Salem and Springfield. We are honored to have been asked to provide the play-by-play and analysis for the NCAA’s official video broadcast of the national semifinals and third-place game.

We recommend visiting CSTV’s Web site, which will be streaming those games, and registering and testing your system now — don’t wait until game time.

CSTV’s streaming requires, unfortunately, a Windows PC. They are not Mac friendly. They also require Internet Explorer (no Firefox, Opera, etc.).

You need to be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0 on the following systems in order to enjoy All-Access:

Microsoft Windows XP Home / Professional SP2, Windows XP Media Center 2005, Windows 2000 SP4; Windows Media Player 9 or 10.

We will provide our traditional audio stream of each national championship game, as always. That is accessible to Macs and PCs.

All links will also be available on our Live Audio page.

Virginia Wesleyan's Marques Fitch talks to HoopsvilleHoopsville will be airing Thursday night from Roanoke, Va., in a live show from the Wyndham Hotel starting at 8 p.m. ET. We’ll talk about the tournament so far, the Final Four games, and talk with each team as they return from the championship banquet. Come sit and listen, ask questions, point and laugh at Dave, etc.

The Wyndham is just off Exit 3 on I-581 and is the teams’ official hotel. Meet fans of other teams and just celebrate Division III basketball in general. We’ll go from 8 until at least 10, if not later, to get all four teams in.

And on Friday, whether you’re at the games or not, check out our scouting reports, which will be on the Web site during the day. We’ll also have live audio pregame coverage from Salem starting at 4 p.m. ET Friday, and Saturday’s broadcasts will start with the coaches’ roundtable in Salem and take you all the way through the postgame news conferences at both sites, including our annual audio highlight reel of the NCAA Tournament.

So fire up your browsers! It’s a long weekend of Division III on the air! And I love exclamation points, apparently!
