LAS VEGAS -- Bob Knight, the winningest men's basketball coach in Division I history, and former CBS sportscaster Billy Packer plan to analyze the NCAA men's basketball tournament in a series of one-hour television programs taped at a sports book on the Las Vegas Strip.
Packer told reporters that the show will not mention gambling even though it is to be filmed at the race and sports book at the Wynn Las Vegas.
Packer, who left CBS after last season following 27 years as the network's lead college basketball analyst, said he wants the shows to be part of the experience of watching games in Las Vegas, which he said ranks second to watching games from courtside.
The programs are expected to begin March 15 and air on Fox Sports Net.
