TONIGHT'S MUST SEE

Merrie Monarch Festival Hula Competition, 6 p.m. ABC. Three nights of the annual hula competition wrap up tonight with the 'auana (modern) competition and awards ceremony, live from Hilo.

Basketball, noon, CBS. There were upsets along the way, especially by a dazzling Davidson team. When the early rounds were finished, however, the Cinderella teams were gone: For the first time in the NCAA tourney's history, the four top-seeded teams had survived. Memphis and UCLA play first, with tip-off at about 12:07 p.m. Then Kansas and North Carolina play, 40 minutes after the first game ends; winners collide Monday.

OF NOTE

"The Night James Brown Saved Boston," 6 p.m., VH1. In the aftermath of the Martin Luther King assassination, riots spread. Officials considered canceling a James Brown concert at the Boston Garden. Then came a better idea: Call the show a tribute; televise it. That story is told here, with sharp commentary about the times. The music clips are brief, but they remind us what a brilliant performer Brown was.

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 7 p.m., NBC. In a rerun, a guy went to bed with two women; when he woke up, the blonde was dead, the brunette was gone and he was a suspect.

"Must Love Dogs" (2005) Oxygen and "Under the Tuscan Sun" (2003), WE, both at 5 p.m. Diane Lane's subtle skill saves both films. One is a romance with John Cusack; the other has her buying a villa.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 8 p.m., NBC. This rerun visits the world of ultimate fighting.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. A psychiatrist is killed in this rerun. Suspects include his patients and his young wife.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:29 p.m., NBC. Christopher Walken hosts, with music by Panic at the Disco.
