TV Coverage for WBB on ESPN networks

By Weinman - All 63 games of the Women's NCAA Tournament will be televised by the ESPN family of networks again this year. Vanderbilt's first round matchup with DePaul (Sunday, 11:11 a.m. CT) is set to be shown by ESPN2.

The networks will utilize "whip-around" coverage for the first two rounds of the tournament since up to four games are being played in the same time slot. This should not be an issue in the Nashville market, as games of local interest are slated to be shown in their entirety (with "constant updates" from other games instead of switching). ESPN360.com will have every game of the tournament, as will ESPN Full Court ($79). Details in the .pdf file below....

All in all, the verbiage of it is a bit cumbersome, but I thought I'd post the information from ESPN for you to see. There should be coverage maps available on ESPN.com later this week.

Coleman turns tables on Peck

By Weinman

Following Vanderbilt's 63-61 win over LSU on Friday night, ESPN analyst and VU alum Carolyn Peck dropped by the Commodore lockerroom to prep for tomorrow's semifinal broadcast.

After talking with Coach Balcomb and a number of VU players, Peck took time to be interviewed by current Commodore sophomore Jordan Coleman. The Lake Mary, Fla., native asked the 1988 VU grad a trio of questions with her teammates and Peck's ESPN co-worker Cara Capuano looking on.
