NCAA Tournament 2016: First Round Tip Times, TV Schedule and Announcer Pairings in Providence
Many Providence basketball season ticket holders opted to buy tickets to the NCAA Tournament’s First and Second Rounds being played at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center this year. While the committee wasn’t able to ensure that the Friar are playing on the opposite day that their home site is hosting games, there will be plenty of time to watch action at the Dunk before Providence and USC tip off in Raleigh at close to 10pm EDT on Thursday night. There are also some marquee names for fans to see at the Dunk that are unlikely to be there to take on the Friars. Here are the games, tip times, TV schedule and announcer pairings for the First Round games being played in Providence.
