BracketBusters 2013 matchups on ESPN networks includes 13 nationally televised games between NCAA Tournament hopefuls from non-power conferences.
BracketBusters, the two-day college hoops event that gave national TV exposure to NCAA Tournament hopefuls from non-power conferences, will be held for the final time Feb. 22-23. Given the evolving landscape of college basketball, ESPN decided to discontinue it after an 11-year run. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3/WatchESPN combine to televise the games Friday and Saturday.
