What I'm Watching - Friday March Madness Edition

To help you focus you March Madness viewing, I am ranking the watchability of the games in each round in an effort to focus my limited time in front of the TV.  The two parameters I am looking at are projected margin of victory  and average tempo of each game.  I am ranking the parameters for each game and then taking the average of the two rankings.  One is the best score possible.  If you have limited time, choose the game with the lowest score and watch that game.  Here is the breakdown for Friday's games:

Game to Watch: (7) Notre Dame vs. (10) Iowa Sate (9:45 PM ET CBS) - Projects to be a close game with a fast pace.  Win-win.   A must tune in for me.

Theme of the Day:  North Carolina vs. Philly - A pair of great 8-9 match ups are at the top of the board today: (8) North Carolina vs. (9) Villanova (7:20 PM ET TNT) and (8) North Carolina State vs. (9) Temple (1:30 PM TBS).  Both Carolina teams like to get up and down the court.  Tune in to see if the Philly boys can keep up.

Tip of the Day:  Take a nap in the afternoon so you can watch the late games.  Three out of the top five rated games tip off after 9:00 PM ET.  Take a nap during the late afternoon games so you can make sure you are awake for the finish of the late match ups.
