As the college basketball conference tournaments wrap up, the entire country focuses in on one of the most exciting times of the sports calendar: March Madness and the NCAA Tournament.
With this in mind, YurView will feature a 30-minute weekly show covering the tourney from the announcement of the 68-team field on Selection Sunday, through the Final Four April 1st-3rd in Glendale, Arizona. It’s the Dash to the Desert.
With its debut episode set for Selection Sunday and new episodes every Sunday throughout the tournament, host Vin Parise and Analyst Scott Williams will break down the bracket from all angles. Dash to the Desert will also spotlight teams in various YurView markets, bringing on guest analysts who cover your favorite local teams.
