That ABC time slot is new this year - in the past I think they've typically broadcast 3 quarterfinal games nationally but it's usually been two games on ESPN2 and one on ESPN. It'll be interesting to see the viewership that it will draw - hoping for 2M+ average but we'll see.

That ESPN slot the SDSU/Nova game is in is a nice slot also since it follows College Gameday (assuming they have the same show times) and usually gets 1M+ and sometimes approaching 2M in average viewers.

All games will also be streaming on ESPN+. I'll have coverage of the quarterfinals on my Substack. I'll probably watch the Furman/Montana game Saturday morning via ESPN+ and watch part of the Villanova/South Dakota State game as well as watch the North Dakota State/South Dakota State game, and probably watch the Albany/Idaho game Sunday on ESPN+ after I get home from church.
