In addition to the basketball, there's also a chance that the votes in the US House on the health care bill may also cause some interruptions in prime time tonight (and the White House has already announced that there will be a statement from President Obama after the final House vote on the Senate bill (even before the House votes on the second bill sometime this evening.)

I may have to control the recorder manually tonight. Seems as if CBS News would interrupt TAR the ways things are developing.

Here is the latest NCAA timing:

Duke/California just went to the half with Duke up by 13.
Pittsburgh/Xavier went to the half quite a while ago and it is a 9 point game.
Texas A&M/Purdue has just gone to the half. It is a 7 point game.

This looks possible for a 715pm 60 Minutes start.

My local news said that after tonight's Health Care Reform bill passes President Obama will be speaking out to the nation that will be carried live.

I hope it does not interrupt TAR.

I hope it does not interrupt TAR.

Will there still be a statement if the bill doesn't pass?

Unless basketball pushes back the east coast viewing,  TAR viewing should not be interrupted.  There are 2 roll call votes and 2 hours of floor debate, beginning at 6:43 ET before the President speaks.

Here are the schedules through mid-afternoon from Epernay to Paris-Est (all using TER rail system):

Depart    06h32      07h31     08h32      10h35   12h31     14h31
Duration  01h20      01h22      01h21    01h18    01h22     01h22
Arrive      07h52     08h53      09h35    11h53    13h53      15h53

Depart     14h31      16h31      17h31     18h32     20h36
Duration   01h22      01h22    01h22     01h21     01h17
Arrive       15h53      17h53    18h53    19h53     21h53

So, these trains depart around 31 after most hours and all arrive at 53 after the following hour.

It's not clear if President Obama would speak once the "Senate bill" is passed even if the House has not yet voted on the "Reconcilation Bill." (The "Senate bill" can go directly to the President for signature.)

The first of the two real Roll Calls could start at about 8:40 pm ET and that would take no more than 15 minutes. (And that's likely to be right in the middle of TAR.) If they do wait until the second bill is passed, then it'll be close to 11 PM ET before the House is finished (and that could delay TAR on the West Coast, instead.)
