Basketball fans already know that March brings them the college basketball tournament and 24/7 bracket monitoring, and AT&T announced that its U-verse TV customers were able to enjoy these on their TV screens. According to the company, users will soon have the opportunity to track personalized bracket and view tournament results on their TV screens with the College Basketball from Yahoo! Sports app, which will become available for free for all U-verse TV customers on Monday, March 15.

AT&T also notes that the new U-verse TV app offers customers the possibility to view tournament brackets, as well as game summaries and box scores for the college basketball tournament this March. Moreover, users will also be able to select their picks online, and the bracket will automatically appear on the TV screen, courtesy of the integration between the AT&T U-verse Internet Protocol (IP) TV and the Internet service.

“Our goal with U-verse TV apps is to enhance the content our customers care about, and we know college basketball fans are passionate about this month’s big tournament,” said Jeff Weber, AT&T vice president of video products. “We’re giving you a single location on your TV to follow your brackets and your favorite teams, without ever leaving the game. This is just one more U-verse TV app that makes the sports watching experience better for our customers.”

Users who want to set up their bracket for the app should simply log in to Yahoo Sports through their U-verse High Speed Internet account, where they can pick teams that they think will advance. The U-verse TV app will automatically display the bracket, and the correct picks will be highlighted in green as soon as the tournament begins, while the losing picks will be in red.

Moreover, it seems that users can access College Basketball from Yahoo! Sports in the AT&T U-bar through hitting the “Go Interactive” button on their remote. “College Basketball from Yahoo! Sports is the only the latest app from AT&T that gives U-verse TV customers a better sports experience. Since its initial launch, AT&T has brought U-verse TV customers numerous apps and features at no extra charge, including the award-winning Multiview app that lets customers watch up to four sports channels at once on channel 601,” the company further notes.
