I am sick and tired of this BS. Why does the frinkin 2 seed play at 930 and witichta vs Dayton at 7. Holy crap why do I follow this stupid tournament. Where the hell is barnhart in all this. It's every damn year.
930 tip. Sick of this crap
- Thread starter canebreak
- Start date
That one is definetly money motivated. West coast is three hours behind. More people across the country want to see the #2 UK play
I like it. Means I can enjoy all of two days of basketball and if we lose somehow..... it then wouldn't ruin the best two days of basketball for me.
Now when we are a 1 seed... I want the first game

At least we are not travelling. Imagine if this was out west with that starting time.
It's Friday, calm down. I love it. Two full days of games before we play.
Friday night by 10pm...I'll probably be in no shape to be watching TV.
Awesome. I'll be in China so it can watch it at 10:30 in the morning and post the score here so you can bet on it before you watch it. Thank me later. I'll be sporting UK garb all over China for the next two weeks. Any UK fans in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Changchun?
So now Barnhart is supposed to tell the networks when to put the games on tv, too?
What other stupid nonsense can we blame on him?
I like the late games. If it was during the day, people would complain about it being during work hours.
As far as being the second game of the session, it's not a big deal with the off day in between.

Is there anything we don't complain about?
Nah. First, they're kids. Second, they have 5 nights to stay up late and practice to prepare for what will probably be two late games on Friday and Sunday. Nothing to worry about.
Can I blame him for the Dish Network/CBS Louisville affiliate blackout? HES GOT TO GO!! Heh
There are some who would ***** if we got a double bye to the Sweet Sixteen. [laughing]
Aw hell, why not?
He didn't dictate the brackets to the selection committee and he didn't tell the networks to put us on in the afternoon instead of evening... May as well blame corporate greed on him, too.
Another conspiracy. Just like the conspiracy of the slippery floor the other night.
Now the other teams are warmed up and we're rusty.
They're taking away possible wins. This is just a ploy so Duke can catch up on our all time record.
Monk will have plenty of time to wake up and get a shoot around in.
Starting Friday with Guinness and corned beef for lunch.. Zero chance I'm coherent by 9. It'd be one thing to say sober for a few hours until 4pm or something..
32 game slots. Worst possible choice. Dead last for me.

Bitching about Barnhart in this scenario is just bitching to further an agenda against him. CBS pays a shitload of money and they want the most people watching during the times that determine commercial prices. Shouldn't be too hard to understand if you would take off the "I hate Mitch" blinders.
It's only like a 2-2.5 hour disadvantage. It sucks the players have to wait that long to play their first game, but they'll be alright.
... because the opponent was going to be a good team.
I love the start time. I prefer to play our first game either noon Thursday if we're a 1 seed or 9:30 p.m. Friday. any other time so I can at least enjoy two full days of basketball in the unlikely event of a UK loss.
