LSU, UCLA, George Mason University and Florida race into Indianapolis as CBS Sports culminates its 25th consecutive year as exclusive network broadcaster of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship and Final Four with coverage of the national semifinal games on Saturday, April 1 (6:00-11:00 PM, ET) and the National Championship game on Monday, April 3 (9:00 PM, ET-conclusion) from the RCA Dome, live on the CBS Television Network.

Greg Gumbel, Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis host THE FINAL FOUR SHOW (4:00-6:00 PM, ET), live from the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Lesley Visser and Dick Enberg contribute to the program. THE FINAL FOUR SHOW features include:

LIVE COACHES DISCUSSION WITH SETH DAVIS - The winning coaches from four of the last seven national championships, Jim Calhoun from Connecticut; Tom Izzo of Michigan State and North Carolina's Roy Williams are live on the set with Seth Davis. The three coaches all fell to George Mason University this year during the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

GEORGE MASON 24/7 - Since their upset of No. 1-seeded Connecticut, CBS Sports has been with George Mason around the clock-24/7-as they continue on their magic ride towards Indianapolis and embark on their mission to win the national championship.

LSU AND HURRICANE KATRINA - As the Gulf Coast still recovers from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the success of the LSU basketball team has provided a much needed diversion. CBS Sports talks with LSU stars Glen Davis, Tyrus Thomas and Tasmin Mitchell about their accounts of the disaster and their assistance in the relief efforts.

UCLA LEGACY - The most storied basketball program in NCAA Basketball Championship history, UCLA, looks to capture its12th national championship. Current members of the Bruins and UCLA legends coach John Wooden, and former players Bill Walton and Kareen Abdul Jabbar are featured in the piece.

Player of the Year candidates J.J. Redick from Duke and Gonzaga's Adam Morrison together join Gumbel, Kellogg and Davis live on the set.

The first national semifinal begins at 6:07 PM, ET featuring Florida versus George Mason University. Forty minutes after the game concludes, UCLA takes on LSU to determine the final participant in Monday night's championship game.

For the 16th consecutive year Jim Nantz and Billy Packer are courtside to call the action of all three games. Dan Bonner serves as reporter.

PRELUDE TO A CHAMPIONSHIP with Gumbel, Kellogg, Davis, and Enberg will precede Monday evening's National Championship game live from the RCA Dome.
