First (and Second) Round Tipoff Times (and Announce Crews)

UPDATE: Thanks to the fine folks at Awful Announcing, we can now flesh out the information below with second round game times and announce crews. Good news for the March: Gus Johnson will be announcing the Friday/Sunday games, so no conflict with our Philly plans. Rise and Fire! Lead announce team, Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg, are, of course, sent to Greensboro to cover those super special teams without which college basketball would cease to exist, Duke and UNC.

ESPN is listing tip times for the first round games on Thursday and Friday, though they're not yet on the CBS Sports website. I've reordered them below by game time. We'll post coverage maps and announce crews as soon as we get that information.
