Tipoff Time, Broadcast Plans Announced for BYU-Duquesne in NCAA Tournament

The broadcast plans and tipoff time for BYU's first round matchup against Duquesne have been announced. BYU-Duquesne will be one of the first games in the round of 64. The Cougars and the Dukes will tipoff on Thursday at 12:40 PM Eastern Time (10:40 AM Mountain Time) and the game will be broadcast on truTv. 

The only Thursday game that will tipoff earlier than BYU-Duquesne is Mississippi State-Michigan State. That game tips off on CBS 25 minutes before BYU-Duquesne. Since it is one of the first games of the tournament, this game could draw a lot of eyeballs if it's close.

The truTV broadcast will feature a four-person team of Tom McCarthy, Deb Antonelli, Avery Johnson, and AJ Ross.

BYU doesn't play many morning games, but they did play a pair of morning games last week. Both of BYU's games in the Big 12 tournament tipped off at 10:30 Mountain Time. The experiences from those two games could prove beneficial for BYU in the tournament.
