Over the next several weeks we will get a much better understanding as to who will be in the 2011 NCAA basketball tournament. With many diehard college basketball fans excited about March madness it should come as no surprise that many of these will likely look to listen to the Mountain West 2011 college basketball tournament radio broadcast live online. This conference is loaded this year as favorite San Diego State and BYU are both in the top 10.
With the advancements in technology it is now easier than it has ever been to watch or listen to sports live online to a streaming audio or video feed. It is very important to remember that it is not always the case that the streaming video feed is 100% free. If individuals are looking for a free radio broadcast of the 2011 Mountain West College basketball tournament that it may be advisable to go to the local AM radio stations in this specific region. Most radio stations currently have a website that offers a live radio broadcast that could allow fans to listen to their favorite teams online.
With that being said it is not a guarantee that any radio broadcast is completely free. It might be worth it to spend a little bit of extra money and pay each respective university a small fee to listen to the radio broadcast of that particular school. It will also be helpful to do this because fans will be able to listen to the announcers of their favorite team.
Here is some more information about the NCAA basketball tournament from Wikipedia:
Sixteen first round games are played on the Thursday following the NCAA’s selection of the teams. The remaining sixteen games are played Friday. Thursday’s winners play in eight second round games on Saturday, followed by Friday’s winners playing in the remaining eight second round games on Sunday. Thus, after the first weekend, 16 teams remain, commonly called the “Sweet Sixteen.”
Before the 2002 tournament, all teams playing at a first- or second-round site fed into the same regional tournament. Since 2002, the tournament has used the “pod system” designed to limit the early-round travel of as many teams as possible. In the pod system, each regional bracket is divided into four-team pods. The possible pods by seeding are:
Pod #1: 1v16, 8v9
Pod #2: 2v15, 7v10
Pod #3: 3v14, 6v11
Pod #4: 4v13, 5v12
Each of the eight first and second round sites is assigned two pods, where each group of four teams play each other. A host site’s pods may be from different regions, and thus the winners of each pod would advance into separate regional tournaments.
Starting in 2011, the round after the “First Four” will be called the “second round”, which consists of 32 games and will be played on either Thursday or Friday. The next round, the “third round”, consists of 16 games that will be played on Saturday and Sunday.[5]
