Canadian Viewing Guide: NCAA March Madness Sweet Sixteen (Thursday, March 26)

March Madness is upon us and there are 28 Canadians taking part in this year's tournament. Six made is through the first weekend of play.

Here's when and where you can watch the Canadian players in action on Thursday, March 26.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26

MIDWEST: No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 5 West Virginia – 9:45 p.m. ET in Cleveland, OH

Trey Lyles (Saskatoon, SK), coming off a 11-point, 11-rebound double-double in Kentucky's 64-51 win over Cincinnati in the round of 32, gets us started in the Sweet Sixteen.

The next team that will try to hand the top-seeded Wildcats their first loss this season is West Virginia. The Mountaineers lead the NCAA in steals in large part due to their aggressive full-court press. They realize forcing turnovers is the only realistic chance they have of cutting down Kentucky.

''It's going to be a long day for us if we can't,'' said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins.

The winner moves on to the Elite Eight to face either No. 3 Notre Dame or No. 7 Wichita State.
