Silent Night to be featured on CBS before Final Four

Silent Night and all of its craziness and appeal will be shared with the entire nation once again. This spectacular event continues to attract major media outlets across the United States.

Before the beginning of the Final Four on Saturday CBS will feature Taylor's Silent Night tradition as a part of "The Best of College Basketball 2013" show.

The program features many different traditions, top plays, best games and personalities from the 2012-2013 college basketball season. Part of this segment will be devoted to the now famous tradition of Silent Night.

The show will be divided up by each month of the basketball season and Silent Night will be broadcasted in the December section. Approximately a 30-second clip will be played of the event according to assistant SID Cam Andry.

Last December the fast-growing tradition from Taylor was covered by multiple media outlets throughout the nation.

The Wall Street Journal ran an in-depth piece previewing the madness that takes place the last Friday of the fall semester. ESPN posted about it on Twitter and their Facebook page.

CBS Sports, NBC Sports, the Huffington Post and Bleacher Report were among other notable news sources who covered this unique tradition.

Despite all of this coverage, the Final Four will present one of the greatest opportunities for Silent Night to be displayed to the masses. Last year the two Final Four games received a Television rating of 8.4 and 9.6

Look for Silent Night on "The Best of College Basketball 2013" which airs April 6 at 1 p.m. on CBS.
