If the U.S. softball team has its way, a gold medal repeat will be on
the line Tuesday night in Sydney. And if the scenario plays out, expect
to see Lisa Fernandez & co. in the limelight of Olympic evening
television. NBC takes to the air for its weekday standard 8 1/2 hours -- in the morning from 10 a.m. to noon, prime-time coverage
from 7 p.m. to midnight, as well as a 12:30-2 a.m. nightcap. Softball
isn't the only team sport of note, however, as men's soccer semifinals
heat up with the likes of Brazil and Italy.
