Message: [QUOTE="willingtonfan, post: 3080235, member: 2059"] I heard on the radio broadcast of the AAC championship game Bob Joyce discussing this very issue. He said the Geno was lobbying HARD to be assigned a Friday game so that people would be able to attend all of the NCAA tournament in Connecticut (men's first round Thursday, women's first round Friday, men's second round Saturday, women's second round Sunday). Operating under the assumption that the NCAA wishes to maximize attendance at its events, I think it unlikely that they will ignore the suggestion. On the other hand, it is well known that ESPN wants us to play in the 11 am block on Saturday. This is because that is the ONLY game time in the entire first round of the tournament where there is only that game playing, so they would be able to show UConn's first round game to the whole country, with no regional coverage (as there are no other games). So, ladies and gentlemen, we have here the old irresistable force vs. immovable object! Who'll prevail? Stay tuned! :) [/QUOTE]
