Updated with starting times showing CDT

So the game featuring a west coast team is the early one and the other game with 2 east coast teams starts at 9 pm. Got it, makes total sense.

For those who lack Google or other search engines, Ramadan in the US started March 22nd and goes for 30 days.

We couldn’t figure out time zones yesterday, what made you think we could figure out this?

They put the game people want to watch in prime time, they're in the business of making money.

It's about tv ratings

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I get it, I'm just frustrated at having to stay up again. Did fine yesterday, but for the ladies game at 9 recently, I was falling asleep before the game ever started. It's a crap shoot.

Word is that the NCAA wants to play the UConn semi-final twice and just not play the FAU-SDST game.

If you are going to complain about having to stay up until 11pm on a Saturday night to watch your team play in the final 4, you need to turn in your fan card.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Getting there. 55 at the moment.

Sunset in Houston is 7:39pm on Saturday. Right about tip off.

It's obvious UConn staff and players who are fasting have a nutrition plan in place but this should allow Sanogo to to start replenishing his nutrition at their time table throughout the game.

He can take a sip of water during the game. Hydration is key.

55 is awfully young. I was still thinking about sex at that age!

This is not the way!

I just said I was falling asleep sitting upright watching the women's game. It's got nothing to do with my fandom, it's my body potentially shutting down for the night. And screw you on the man card comment. I've been a fan of UConn hoops & soccer since I was 10 in 1977. I'm a fan of all things UConn, academics and all sports. I've even got a freshman there. Go pedal your snarky attitude somewhere else.

Agreed.

I'm close to your age and I go to bed at 3 am most days. LOL! I do get start work at 930 AM and work from home which helps.

I'm up at 6, even on weekends. That internal clock is a b*tch. Sometimes I wake up at 5-ish and the mind is racing. Those are the days I eventually head bob myself to sleep on the couch by 9.

Sorry, it was meant to be more jokingly than you took it (or it came across).

I fall asleep during women's games no matter what time it is.

Avoid beer. Can bring on drowsiness.

51 here and yeah, I rarely go to bed before midnight.

 

[ctchamps]

Agreed.

I jokingly meant thinking as opposed to acting but this would explain the difficult in staying awake for late games. Still no excuse.

I have spoken!

 

[uconn_jack]

I personally prefer the later games. Too much other crap going on during the day and early evening. By 8-9pm can fully concentrate on just the game. Earlier games I DVR for that reason too.

You talking about Sanogo or @Fairfield_1st?

All good. Without a laughing face or some key to let me know, I figured you were being an internet tough guy.
The wife heads to bed at 8 to read and I'm usually a 9-9:30 guy. Again, the internal clock is a b*tch.

If it was a regular season game, I'd DVR it, watch about half of it and watch the rest the next day.
