Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 5204958, member: 7171"] Since they started the Friday-Monday approach for the Round of 16 and Elite 8 in 2013, UConn has played on Friday-Sunday only once, and that was in 2019. (Great game by the way, UConn over Louisville in Albany.) Nine times it was Saturday-Monday, and in 2022 it was only Saturday as Ohio State beat us. No tournament in 2020. I assume a big part of the long story is getting UConn on ESPN Monday evening. And this year the Elite Eight "chalk" matchup is looking like it might be against SC, USC or Notre Dame, any of which could very well have the feel of a national championship game. I would prefer Friday-Sunday since it gives an extra day before the Final Four circus. I had tickets for Albany last year and UConn was shipped out to Portland. They were Saturday (Duke) and Monday (USC) last year. [/QUOTE]
