BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Various Networks, 7:00 p.m. ET

The second half of the Sweet 16 contest is decided tonight, with two games apiece televised by CBS and TBS. CBS goes first, at 7 p.m. ET, with No. 1 Virginia facing No. 4 Iowa State. TBS starts at 7:15 ET, with No. 6 Notre Dame going against No. 7. Wisconsin. The later games are an exciting matchup of surviving double-digit seeds, No. 10 Syracuse vs. No. 11 Gonzaga (9:30 p.m. ET on CBS), and the night’s other top seed, North Carolina, facing No. 5 Indiana (9:45 p.m. ET on TBS).

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

This new documentary looks at the long, sometimes lewd tradition of Spring Break in Florida’s Daytona Beach. That wasn’t the only location for those annual revelries in South Florida – Ft. Lauderdale was equally raucous, and perhaps even more famous, at least until MTV came south for the sunshine, suds and chicanery. Spring Broke looks at the rivalry, and beachlike ebb and flow, of those twin celebrations. Experience or relive it all here – from a safe distance.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

There are plenty of current events to discuss, including the latest terrorist attack, this time claiming 31 deaths in Brussels. There’s also the sudden death this week of comedian Garry Shandling. Expect Bill Maher to note them both…
