"Bracket Genius" To Start Tournament March 22 On ESPN2

Just in time for the NCAA's annual March Madness tournaments, ESPN2's new game show, Bracket Genius, is set to begin its bracket-style contest on March 22. Hosted by veteran ESPN anchor Trey Wingo, Bracket Genius pits 16 college teams of three against each other in general knowledge quiz tournament, with the winner receiving $100,000. Between tournament play, the four finalists have a chance to win up to $25,000 in cash and prizes in Extra Credit special episodes. The eight-episode season debuted last Wednesday to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the new series. The opening rounds will air on March 22 & 26 at 5:00pm & 5:30pm ET, the Extra Credit shows on March 27 at 6:00pm & 6:30pm ET and the hourlong championship finale on April 4 at 7:00pm ET. Reruns of each episode will air on ESPNU, including the Study Guide premiere episode at 3:30pm ET today. Check your listings for additional air times. Take a look at the debut episode on WatchESPN now, while it's still available.
