[Hey Adrien!]

2nd game of the session. Florida Atlantic and Northwestern at 1215 pm.

Fantastic luck for me. I got early session tickets months ago before the prices jacked up, so I'm pumped I'll only have to purchase the earlier session.

My old college girlfriend used to live in Fort Greene, so I know the area just due north and I'll probably end up driving down early to hawk out free street parking since there's plenty of spots within a half-mile radius.

But will your car be there when you walk back that half mile?

Ah, the good old 3:45AM tipoff (Japan time)... at least I have no plans for the rest of the day.

Why doesn't Uconn get to play first to get a little extra rest and scout the two potential opponents after? Seems that's a benefit the top seeds deserve.

Yes, it’s a quite safe area around Barclays.

The millennials and Gen-Zers who infiltrated the gentrified areas of Brooklyn aren’t known for their handiness.

However, they’re got the generational cash to hire a car-jacker, if they desire a 2009 Corolla w/ 150k miles.

I prefer driving into Brooklyn, so I’ll “test my luck”.

Because that means all the #1s would play at the same time, and all the 8 v 9 games would thus be at the same time. It has never been done that way. The times are set in consultation with the networks to maximize TV viewership.

No, they wouldn’t all need to be at the same time, Travelman is just saying the #1 seed should play before their region’s 8/9 game. Could be different for different regions.

But yes, it’s about networks maximizing eyeballs.

2 hours won’t make a difference. If they were playing the last game of the night that would indeed be an issue.

It's more that they can watch the 8/9 game after winning, (scout), rather than the other way around.

If your car gets stolen where you parked for a game at the Barclays.. You must have had a hell of a walk to the arena.

But for anyone super concerned.. just stay south of the arena between 4th Ave and 7th Ave in Park slope. Just watch out the strollers.

Is there a shortage of parking garages/lots nearby? Does one have to figure out street parking or are folks just trying to save money?
