The 2011 NCAA Tournament schedule and announcers were published yesterday, and we at SB Nation D.C. provided all of them to you last night. However, in case you missed them, we've decided to put them all in one place right here.
Six local-ish teams -- Georgetown, George Mason, Old Dominion, Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth and Hampton -- made the NCAA Tournament, and a seventh (Virginia Tech) will play in the NIT. Maryland, of course, missed the NIT and its season is over. There will also be first- and second-round games at the Verizon Center, featuring No. 1 seed Pittsburgh and Kemba Walker and No. 3 seed Connecticut. Here are the times and announcers for all of those games.
