It's here, and I've got the morning sweats. Or shakes. Or whatever nervous tick you can lay claim to. Villanova hasn't made the Final Four all that often, and so this is a special time. And we can do it. Oklahoma is a great team, led by a great player. And I won't be mad if Villanova can't get it done.

But I'm feeling like they will. And that's all that matters right now.

Here's how to watch it all go down:

Game Time, TV Schedule: 6:09pm ET. The game will be aired on TBS. The Villanova TeamStream broadcast will air on truTV.

Odds: OddsShark reports the game opened at Villanova -2

Radio: All Villanova Men's Basketball games air live on radio in the Philadelphia market on 610 WIP. Westwood One will also air coverage of the game - check your local listings, or you can use a radio app such as Tune.in.

Live Video Stream: NCAA.com & the March Madness Live app

    BEVERAGE OF CHOICE

    Get sauced before the game, whatever they're serving

    The NCAA, in all its infinite wisdom, does not sell alcohol inside the stadium at the Final Four. That's fine. Whatever they want. But the entire operation is based on making money, and this seems like an easy way to top the cup off (no pun intended. Okay fine it was intended). If you're headed to the game, fair warning!
