Can the Sooners survive the dreaded 5-12 upset?
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Welcome to Thursday's television guide-slash-open thread. Today's action is centered mostly around two things: the first half of the round of 64 in the men's NCAA Tournament, and the vast majority of the first round of the Women's NIT. There's a few random WBI games to round out the slate. Of course, for the most part those latter two bits of information are merely a public service, as we know where our attention is really going to be today.
