Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2673060, member: 6931"] That was exactly my theory last year, after the team laid a big egg against Mississippi State by scoring only 60 points during regulation. Our women did play better in this year's game, but they got off to a slow start again and could not hold eight-point leads mid-way through both the third and forth quarters. (However, this year's game started an hour earlier, at 9:30 pm Eastern instead of 10:30.) But my biggest irk with it is that the #1 overall seed should have the absolute right to the more favorable scheduling. Why on earth should they have to play a nightcap game that gives them a shorter recovery time than the team they'll be facing some 43 hours later? I really don't understand it, television ratings be damned! [/QUOTE]
