What time is it? NCAA time, of course, and the play-in game to determine who gets the 64th spot in the bracket happens tonight. Alabama State fans and Morehead State fans: you know who you are. (ESPN, 7:30 p.m.)

It's country night on American Idol, and you know what that means: songs comparing women to strong animals or birds, discordant cowboy hats, and people without a twangy bone in their bodies trying to twang. (Fox, 8 p.m.)

At last, they're throwing someone off Dancing With The Stars. Will it be Belinda Carlisle? Ty Murray? Will the Woz toddle off on his Wozzed-up broken foot? (ABC, 9 p.m.)

I keep meaning to catch an episode of Discovery's Wreckreation Nation, which stars Dave Mordal, a well-liked runner-up from the first run of Last Comic Standing. Tonight's installment visits vintage snowmobile racing in Wisconsin, so that should be appropriately arctic and hazardous for the adventurer in you. (Discovery, 10 p.m.)
