NCAA Selection Show to be 30 minutes shorter than last year

The NCAA Selection Show Sunday on CBS will start at 5:30 p.m. and last 90 minutes. That’s a 30-minute reduction from last season when the show was spoiled by the tournament bracket leaking on Twitter.

The Dayton Flyers learned they were playing Syracuse in the first round last season before they saw their name come up on TV.

Here are some other things to know about how to watch the NCAA tournament, which is expected to include the Flyers for the fourth straight season:

Additional highlights:

• The First Four games at UD Arena will air on truTV. Those games will be held Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Coverage begins at 6 p.m. each night.

• Forty three games will air on Turner stations (TBS, TNT and truTV).

• Twenty four games will air on CBS.
