Scheduling question

[Huskyforlife]

If we get to the S16, does anyone know whether we'd play Saturday or Sunday? Gotta know which day to request off work.

I haven't seen any future round dates set but all games in our Region are on Saturday so presumably it should carry forward into the S16.

Don't mess with the mojo.

If we get there, you will know.

If, if, if, if UConn wins its first game against Maryland and then if, if, if, if UConn wins its second game they would play on Sunday, 3/28.

Thanks to the selection committee you may need to take off both days. If you're taking off just Sunday then you're going to have to root against BYU getting to the Sweet 16. Only the NCAA could mess up something like this!

On Sunday, however, the committee put itself in the same bind when it placed BYU in the 2021 NCAA tournament's East Region in a bracket that, as presently arranged, would position the Cougars to play a Sweet 16 game on March 28, a Sunday.

The NCAA has announced a contingency plan, however, that would swap the East and Midwest regions' playing dates if the Cougars win two games and make the Sweet 16, which the team last reached in 2011.

The move would mean the East teams, currently scheduled to play their Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games on March 28 and March 30, a Sunday and a Tuesday, would swap with the Midwest Region, which has games scheduled for March 27 and March 29, Saturday and Monday. If BYU reaches the Sweet 16, the East's games would move to those dates to accommodate the Cougars -- a move that would reduce the region's days of rest between games to four -- and the Midwest would play the Sunday-Tuesday stretch, allowing those teams to gain an additional day of rest between games (six).

Tourney would swap schedule if BYU in Sweet 16
