Seven NCAA Tournament teams are taking part in the latest version of the series "NCAA March Madness Confidential," and production crews from Turner Sports and CBS have been "embedded with these teams since selection Sunday to chronicle their tournament experience," according to Dan Fleser of CHATTANOOGAN.com. Tennessee is one of the participating programs, and "cameras were evident" at UT’s press conference yesterday. UT coach Rick Barnes said, "It is not like (the players) are not used to having cameras around. But the fact is that you embrace it. It is something they have worked for and you have to enjoy it" (CHATTANOOGAN.com, 3/18). The other six teams that "production crews will follow" are Houston, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, Marquette and Murray State (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 3/19). 247SPORTS.com's Chris Fisher noted the series, with "exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, will cover team meetings, practices, film sessions, class, conditioning, media opportunities, travel and more." It will appear "across multiple platforms, including studio coverage across TBS, CBS, TNT and truTV, with online distribution via the @MarchMadness Twitter and Facebook accounts, @MarchMadnessTV, NCAA.com, and CBS Sports and Turner Sports social media accounts" (247SPORTS.com, 3/18).
