Does anyone else get tired of...

Being the 1st game everytime? I get it that it's KENTUCKY but Wisconsin? Really? In the "primetime slot". That team plays so slow, sometimes it's hard to stay awake watching their games.

Uconn-Florida is much moreeeeeee appealing but whatever, it is what it is.

Give me the early game. The week is already going to take long enough to go by, I don't want to wait even a few more hours.

 

[progrocks]

ummmmm.......we played the second game in 2011

If Michigan won we would be the second game. UK gets the big spot

This year's Wisconsin team is a lot different from years past. Seems like Bo Ryan has become Popovich-lite with the ball movement and their prolific offense. Much better to watch now.

Wisky scores 76 ppg. Alando Tucker's Wisconsin they are not.

We're in the final four dammit. Who really cares what time the game is

 

[Kitaman]

First game gives the winner (us) advance 'live' scouting of their next opponent. I'm not complaining.

Yeah, every time UConn makes the final four, I like to get upset about the order in which they play the games. It's getting old, and I hope it's older next year, and the year after...

I always like to play first. I like to play on Thursdays and I like to play reasonably early. To me, there is nothing better than having already won and then getting to watch other fans sweat it out watching their teams play. And if you lose? Hell, you got it over with quickly and have more time to move on.

 

[Rondogg]

I'd rather go first. Less stress not having to sit through a whole game to get to ours.

 

[Stinger92860]

I hope we have the early game next Monday.

 

[babysheep]

This way, I get all of Saturday night to get hammered distraction-free, win or lose

 

[Tenspro2002]

I don't mind the early game. Less time to stew and do nothing beforehand, more chance of actually having a Saturday night afterward (whether celebration or drowning of sorrows).

Well, if one has to work from 5-9pm, one definitely has a preference.

 

[Scot-e]

There are 60 other teams that would have loved to take our spot- I'll take any start time they want to give us.

 

[bleeny72]

I think the #1 overall seed's bracket gets the first game to have more rest for the championship, like the Big East used to do.

 

[Peacefrog]

I love having the earlier game. After we win I can completely enjoy the later game(s) without any angst or pressure. That's also why I prefer the Thursday/Saturday games versus playing on Friday/Sunday.

 

[LeftCoastHusky]

I think we've had the late game twice - 2004 and 2011.

 

[uconndoit]

Well, if one has to work from 5-9pm, one definitely has a preference.

If one only works 4 hours a day one shouldn't complain.

 

[storrsroars]

Some of us have to work two jobs. Seems you don't. Count your blessings.

Unfortunately I don't have enough time for a second job. By the time I finish my 1 job it's time for bed.

No offense to you, my fellow Husky - just making a cheap joke on the heels of your post.

No ill will from me - I'm having a happy week basking in the sunshine of the Final Four!
