The Slate

This is one of my favorite weekends in sports and entertainment. WrestleMania is sandwiched between the Final Four and national championship games.

Thursday, April 4

NBA (8:30-11 p.m., TNT): Two of the best teams in the NBA's Western Conference collide when the Oklahoma City Thunder host the San Antonio Spurs.

Friday, April 5

MLB (6:30-10 p.m., FSS): The Atlanta Braves begin a three games series at home against the Chicago Cubs before hitting the road for the first time in 2013.

Saturday, April 6

College basketball (5-10 p.m., CBS): The Final Four kicks off with Wichita State against Louisville, followed by Michigan battling Syracuse.

Sunday, April 7

NASCAR (noon-4 p.m., Fox): Dale Earnhardt Jr. hopes to add to his point lead as the stars of NASCAR go to the short track of Martinsville, Va., for the STP Gas Booster 500.

Monday, April 8

College basketball (8-11 p.m., CBS): The winners of Saturday's Final Four games battle for the 2012-13 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.

Tuesday, April 9

College basketball (7:30-10 p.m., ESPN): The men are done, and the ladies finish out the college basketball seasons, as two TBA teams play for the 2012-13 NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship.

Wednesday, April 10

NHL (6:30-9:30 p.m., NBCSN): Your weekly hockey fix this week is a matchup of Eastern Conference foes, as the fourth-seed Boston Bruins take to the road against the seventh-seed New Jersey Devils.

This weekend, I get the answers to two questions: Can Wichita State reach the title game on Monday? Can the Undertaker run his WrestleMania streak to 21-0?
