Now, however, is something that matters Ü the final nights of the NCAA tournament. Things started two weeks ago with 65 of the top college teams in America. Now, only four are left. CBS has a preview at 4 p.m. Then the games begin. The first tip-off is at about 12:42 p.m., with Arizona facing Michigan State Ü the defending champs, with 10 straight tourney victories. At about 3:15, powerhouse Duke faces Maryland. Expect lots of commotion and collisions. Then the two survivors have to do it all over on Monday.
TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE II: "Disclosure" (1994), 7 p.m., ABC: Here is a film about sex and deceit in the workplace. Michael Douglas plays a corporate executive and Demi Moore is the beautiful boss who will seduce or destroy him. Soon, he's filing a sexual harassment suit. As concocted by Michael Crichton Ü the creator of "ER," "Jurassic Park" and more Ü this is full of coincidences and unlikely twists.

"Cher: Live in Concert From the MGM Grand in Las Vegas," 5 p.m., Fox Family Channel: This isn't really live anymore, but it was when it was first aired on HBO. It was also flashy and glittery.
Football, 7 p.m., NBC: The XFL has, varying by region, the Hitmen-Enforcers or the Rage-Thunderbolts. This is mostly for those who don't realize there's a major sports event (Final Four NCAA basketball) tonight on CBS.
