9:20pm Tip Off

I mean com'on, why so bloody late?? I'm going to try to stay up but odds are stacked against me!

When a West coast team is involved I have no problem with a start time like this. But when two eastern time zone teams are playing it's ridiculous.

At WORST...should be 9:00 on the dot. Also thought it was a shame the UConn women's game on Friday night started at 9:30. Forget about the old coots like me, but don't they want 6/7/8 year old girls to watch that game?

It’s been that time forever. Literally.

I get that with Gonzaga in it, but it's still frustrating since odds are this is going past midnight.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop methamphetamines.

It’s always been that way As far back as I can remember. Game will be over by 1130. Then just set dvr for one shining moment . I think we make it

It’s week night and they want to make sure folks on the west coast aren’t still at work. Which begs the question, if you’re so worried about the entire country being able to watch it, why is it on a Monday? I understand college football not wanting to compete with the NFL. But basketball? Air it after Friday or Saturday the week of the Masters. There’s nothing to compete with then.

Hmm ...so extend the tournament another two weeks to play one game ? What a great idea !!!

It was 9:12 forever. Don't like it but it's not a big change from the time it's been for decades.

Yeah I know, doesn't change the fact it sucks for us.

Right or wrong ...I’ve said what’s more important .... 10-15 year old to see the first 3 innings , first 10 mins OR the ending ????

Maybe once ever someone said , man what a great first quarter that was last night !!!!!!

 

[koleszar]

I'm never going to make it to the end. I'll try, but eventually Mr. Sandman's going to hit me over the head with a sledge hammer.

Sure, but every year it Feels later.

If that’s the problem, play the Final Four games on Friday night and the Championship on Sunday evening. There are ways to get the entire country to watch a game without inconveniencing half of them.

Also, it’s one week. The Masters is this weekend.

If they can have the Super Bowl start at 6:35pm on a Sunday, they can do that for NCAAs too.

This isn’t anything new lol

Exactly!!!!!!!!! 9:22 is downright silly. Always thought Super Bowl should be on Saturday or holiday weekend.
