The Tulsa World's Matt Doyle lists this weekend's must-see televised sporting events.

1. NCAA Men's Final Four: Kansas vs. Ohio State, KOTV channel 6, approximately 7:49 p.m. Saturday: Vested interest from local viewers with Kansas coached by former TU head coach Bill Self and assisted by newly hired Hurricane head coach Danny Manning playing the Buckeyes.

2. NCAA Men's Final Four: Kentucky vs. Louisville, KOTV channel 6, 5:09 p.m. Saturday: Vested interest in the Bluegrass State as hated rivals with high-profile coaches who don't particularly care for one another square off in this ultimate battle royale near Bourbon Street.

3. NBA: Chicago at Oklahoma City, KTUL channel 8, noon Sunday: One week after dispatching the Miami Heat, the Thunder gets another showdown at home with another potential finalist from the Eastern Conference.

4. NCAA Women's Final Four: Baylor vs. Stanford, ESPN cable 25, approximately 8 p.m. Sunday: The Cardinal ended UConn's 90-game win streak last season. Now, it has the challenge of trying to stop Baylor's Brittney Griner and snap the Bears' pursuit of a perfect season.
