The nation’s eyes will be on University of Delaware basketball teams today as the men’s and women’s teams play back-to-back in their NCAA tournaments.
Delaware viewers won’t want to miss the action and they don’t have to.
President Joe Biden, a UD grad who picked both Blue Hens teams to beat astronomical odds and go all the way on his brackets, will be paying attention.
The Blue Hens and Villanova tip-off at 2:45 p.m. from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh in the first-round of the men’s tournament. That game airs in CBS-TV and can also be viewed on CBSsports.com.
The UD women follow at 5 p.m. against Maryland on the Terps’ Xfinity Center court in College Park, Maryland. It is airing on ESPNU, which can also be accessed via ESPN.com.
