The national championship game rematch is officially set, as 11-seeded Michigan beat 3-seeded Tennessee, while 2-seeded Villanova took down 6-seeded Ohio State in the Round of 32. Both teams will head south to San Antonio, where the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight will head to the South Zone of the NCAA Tournament.
But when and on which channel will they play?
CBS announced the next round of matchups while some games are still in progress, but noted the tip time and channel for the highly anticipated matchups. The game will take place on Thursday at 7:15 pm. With Brian Anderson, Jim Jackson and Ellie LaForce on EDT and Call will air on TBS.
The two teams met in the 2018 national championship game - also in San Antonio - where Villanova won thanks to the heroism of Donnett DiVincenzo in a 79-62 loss to the Wolverines. The two teams met again in November 2018 at Villanova's campus, where Michigan retaliated, winning 73–46.
According to Kenpom, this time around the Wildcats are the number 10 team in the country with an eighth-ranked offense and 30th-defense. The Wolverines are ranked 28th nationally, with 19th-ranked offense and 78th on defense.
