Aaron Harrison made a comment about playing that game against Hampton at 10 was reason they came out a little flat.
I am very much a genius compared to your idiotic, inane drivel. Besides the fact that you have the disposition of a bastard alligator, you're not bright, so let me write this so that perhaps even a troglodyte like you can understand:
T h e t o p s e e d d e s e r v e s t h e b e s t t i m e s l o t.
You're just wrong plain and simple. You can use all the big words you want, but you're a complete idiot and clearly don't understand how sports and business work.
See what these late games do to me! All concept of time goes out the door!
Midnight buzzer, bedtime by 2.. Super.

I don't think this is true.

But you're going to educate all of us? No one likes you. You are a smug, condescending a**hole. If you took the difference between what you know and what you think you know, you'd still be the smartest guy in the room, I bet.
You're a fool and a jackass, and my knowledge of business and sports far exceeds yours, scooter.
You are so wrong. There are more people on the west coast waiting to watch us lose than all of BBN together rooting for the Cats to win. Truth. It is on so late so they can watch it also.Originally posted by bigbluelou:
No we aren't. Some of us actually think about our players and staff. They live, work and go to school in the eastern time zone. They should be given preferential treatment as the top seed. The west coast is not a basketball hot bed and their ratings will always be lower than the midwest and east.Originally posted by new era cat:
At 7pm in Cleveland, people on the west coast are still at work.
Our fans are brain dead sometimes.
I can't believe anyone thinks they care about anything more than ratings.
I was wrong duke got the late start of Friday but Wisconsin got early start on Friday. so the west bracket number one will play at 5 o'clock west county time
There you go throwing facts around. How dare they give Duke the late game. IS that a conspiracy also.
According to NCAA.com:
Kentucky is on CBS at 9:45 on THU.
In a shocker, Duke gets the 9:45 on FRI.
Wisc. does get one of the earlier time slots.
I haven't seen the times yet...but I guarandamntee you that Duke will be in the 7PM-ish time slot.
I get that it is a business decision. But that doesn't change the fact that it is complete BS to give the overall #1 seed the worst time slot both weeks.

Wow, crazy - the 2 teams with the largest TV ratings get the late start. I guess Duke got screwed too?
Spoiler alert, we'll also get the late game in the Final Four too (just like last year). I hope the kids and staff aren't permanently damaged by staying up until midnight!

look I said I was wrong I checked the times. It's not about us the fans it's about the players. They complained about playing at 10 not me I could care less.
All games are on CBS after tonight.
For those whining about playing so late remember if we play the early game then folks on the west coast will still be at work.
It's all about ratings, no conspiracies or anti-UK things going on.

Yup. UK and Duke are the big dog on their respective night...no surprise both are the late game.
Please don't quote Vandalay.
Putting that douchebag on ignore was the best decision I've ever made on this site.
I encourage everyone else to do the same.

I can deal with some of your stupidity. I can even handle your dooshiness from time to time. But I can't take both of them. Thank you Rivals for the ignore feature. Goodbye, moron.
Wrong, DUke play the same time we do the next night. Most of the conspiracies are in some heads.
so on Friday the game with two west coast teams will be playing while their fans will be at work. Ucla and Gonzaga tip at 4:15.
You are so right. To those of you who already had it on ignore, I apologize for ever quoting it. I have now put it on ignore too, and the world is a better place.
I don't have a problem with someone correcting people, but he is just a giant d-bag. Never civil, always condescending, always bashing UK fans, always defending other programs, players, UK critics, etx. Just no redeeming qualities as a poster whatsoever.
Umm I'm correct and most on here agree with me. I'm just trying to help you out, you clearly haven't ever watched the NCAA tournament before.
Why?
This means, whe..if we win, our Elite 8 opponent probably plays at 7 and gets 2 hours rest. Yeah, that's advantage of being the #1 overall.
Plus don't they have games to play out in California?

Maybe. Maybe not.
In 2012 UK vs. UL was the early game. I have to think that the "Battle of Kentucky" was CBS's main event.
Ahhhhh... fond memories. Loved sitting back with a couple of drinks, knowing the Cats were in it, and watching KU vs. OSU round out the night.
OT: SAG, who is the person/band in your avatar? I've been trying to figure it out for years and can't tell.
