The NCAA tournament is in full swing, and some CRAZY games yesterday made for a great start. I'm sure the upcoming games will be just as nuts, so you won't want to miss a thing. To keep you updated when you're out and about, CBS has brought us CBS Sports Men's College Tourney for BlackBerry. The free app gives you news headlines, scores, player stats, bracket tracking and more. The app will keep you informed when you're at work or away from a TV/PC so you don't have to worry about not knowing whats going down. It looks like the app works on most devices (US only) and is 100% free. Head to Blackberry App World to download.

Don't Miss a Beat with CBS Sports Men's College Tourney for BlackBerry
Im on telus with a 9700 and it says my device is not supported , Maybe U.S. only
Yup looks like its US only according to App World .. sorry about that. I'll update the post.
What awesomeness does this give you that you can't really get with Scoremobile?
As far as I can tell, this is no benefit over ScoreMobile. I downloaded it. Checked it out. Fine app. Does just what it says and nice UI. Closed it and opened ScoreMobile. Felt it gave me nearly the same thing, so deleted the CBS app.
NHL is the only thing that matters.
Go Sens Go.
GO LEAFS GO..... That is all.....
I downloaded this and the scores are always a couple minutes behind from the live action. I guess that's expected, but it had no advantage over Scoremobile. I really wish Sportstacular would hit BB...much better overall score/news app than Scoremobile IMHO.
this application is a good tool to follow your brackets and keep up with the games. Im sure the minor glitches will be worked out with any updates that the developers run will greatly improve the app for next year.
Nice app! I will probably keep it through the first few rounds of tournament and then delete it. I like Scormobile as a whole better.
I like the app. Though scoremobile does a fine job as well in getting the raw facts to us, it cannot give you an "at a glance" shot of the brackets or anything like that. Plus the UI of this app is a bit nicer. I'll roll with it throughout the tourney, then delete it and revert back to my good ol' Score Mobile.
This app is hands down better than ScoreMobile. I have both and the UI is much cleaner and easier to navigate than Score. The updates are quick and close to the action (at least as close as Score.) For the comment regarding slow updates, try changing the refresh settings - I set mine to 30 seconds and have had no complaints.
Side Note: For anyone who has SiriusXM, check out the app they released last month. Two channels carry the tourney live and are only roughly 10 seconds behind the online CBS video feed and the HDTV broadcast.
Outside of being able to see the brackets, this app doesn't do anything that scoremobile doesn't. After the tourney this will be gone.

Not supported on the Curve.
scoremobile is 100x better than this.
the visuals and user interface are not user friendly anyway.
do not download this app, its stupid.
maybe if i could plug in my bracket that would be decent, but you cant, and its stupid.
My co-worker and I both have BB Tour; we downloaded the app successfully, but all we could get was a "blue screen" when we tried to run the app. It showed nothing but "CBS Sports" on the top!! Bummer!!!
this app caused the 552 error on my tour. os 5.0 can't get here soon enough.
I downloaded this app last week and now things are in full swing, I'm using it all the time, I love it! Very clean and well presented.
In Appworld, it says "not available on your device or for your carrier."
I'm using 8330e on Sprint / 5.0 OS.
