9:45 start against MSU

[Greathusky]

I am happy to be in the sweet 16 but why is UConn always getting the late games? This is getting ridiculous.

 

[HuskyHawk]

My God. Again. This absolutely blows. Are we the David Letterman of basketball or something?

 

[willie99]

And we'll tip at 10:15, the early games have been running late

Greathusky told me this week that Reed was going to dominate Furman, I'm not sure there's ever been a better call

 

[NJHoops]

Go Vampires!!

More gifts for Duke from the NCAA

 

[Old Man UConn]

Why does UCONN always get the bone from the NCAA and the Big East for all the late games.?
A: we watch

 

[blkknight1]

So 10:20/10:30 actual tip.

You know there is going to be a Duke whistle going on so that means more fouls so long stoppages

 

[Flipside]

we're on in primetime (for both coasts), on a Thursday/weekend, on screen in every bar/restaurant ... I don't see a significant downside

Memories of this post-Midnight gem

The East Regional Final is the one to be at this weekend with the 1,2,3 and 5 seeds still playing along with a few legendary coaches. UConn, MSU and Duke fans travel in full force and SJ will be represented well.
CBS will be broadcasting the games so we should have Rafferty, Eagle and Hill doing the games.
CapitalOne Arena and DC will be rocking.

 

[UC0NN]

Uconn doesnt travel well like some of these others schools. They will fill their section tho, and few fans will be outside the Uconn section.

Just like it was in Philly.

 

[CTGoonie]

Whatever. I'd watch if it tipped at 3 in the morning.

 

[Marat]

I got up at 5:45am for work today and no problem for me. A win makes it much easier to wake up early. Glad we won, and lets keep it rolling. We have the talent to do it.

The combination of a Duke whistle and St. Johns is going to be wild. That game could take 3 hours. Five or six guys could foul out.

I'll be interested to see if the St. John's fans (or Duke fans for the matter) or the DC locals root for us or against us.

 

[sledog]

oy. Another midnite express.

I think this is overblown.

Historically UConn doesn't travel for the 1st round. It's always been this way even when the games were within driving distance. They will show up for the regional championships. Teams that rarely advance have fans that show up earlier. It's about expectations.

I'll be in Las Vegas, so 6:45 PM start for me 😁😎
