9:45 start against MSU | The Boneyard

9:45 start against MSU

.-.
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.
 
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.

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
Expand ...
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.
 
Go vampires

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.

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 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.

So you woke up, logged into work p.c., then the BY. As it should be.

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

I'll watch. It just makes it extremely difficult to do that anywhere but at home. I was hoping to out and watch with my old UConn roommate.
 
The late starts don't bother me nearly as much as Michigan St (3 seed) getting and extra day of rest/prep time vs. UConn (2 seed). How does the 3 seed get to play on Saturday afternoon and the 2 seed play late night on Sunday?

4 vs 5 days of rest should not make a difference. They were in Buffalo which was scheduled as Thurs/Sat before Selection Sunday
 
I work in a school so I'm a Mon-Fri worker. At least it's not Thursday. I can sleep in the next morning if need be.

Never did get the timing thing though. You would think that west coast schools would get more of the later times for ratings. Their fans are used to being up later, plus in theory, you would think the players would play better and that draws in more casual fans. The diehards are always going to be there.

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

Ironically, not our only post-midnight win over Washington. When we came from behind to force OT and eventually beat UW in DC in ‘06 (before losing to Mason), it was also a really, really late night.
