Start times

[UC990411]

Does anyone know when the NCAA announces start times for first round games?

trying to think back to last year, around 9, 9:30 i think they were annoucned but i could be wrong

I forget who tweeted it out, but I read we are at 6:27 pm on Thursday

 

[RickyMoore21]

that start time makes no sense and i think it was a mistake...if i had to speculate based on the 4 games in Louisville i would say Kentucky will be the 7 pm start time and we will tip off 30 minutes after sometime between 9 30 and 10

I've been working like crazy on Google, etc., to figure out this info. No luck so far. I need to get into the "Twitter" world, I guess...

At least we know it will be a night game - the fact that we are paired with the kentucky game gurantees that. No way would they let the wildcats play in the afternoon

CBS only says "TBA" for Thursday and Friday games. I don't know where anybody is seeing this.

Nothing is official yet. Nothing on twitter from either Amore or the UConn feed or anyone from CBS. Nor anything from any of the sports media types I follow.

EDIT:
However, I agree that it will be a night game. UK and Cuse likely both at night with one being early and the other being late. The NCAA hates putting two #1's on at the same time. My guess would be UK at 7:10.

Uk tips at 6:50 and we follow per zags blog

To make up for my mistake earlier with the time here is what Turner put out with all the start times:

Excellent - I will be home for that. The one big problem being a UConn fan on the west coast is having games that start at 4pm (local) vs 6pm. Well that and there is a dearth of knowledgeable basketball fans out here. I always laugh at the 'east coast basketball bias' when I hear it. The left coast has no clue about basketball. Kind of like how CT doesn't really appreciate college football like the south. Or anybody that doesn't go all in for high school football like Texas.

And we get RAF!

#UConn will play Thursday night at the conclusion of the 6:50 p.m. Kentucky game -- in other words, around 9 p.m.

Onions!!!

Onions!!!

I hope to not hear that. I hope it's not a close enough game for Onions to come out.

You just aren't talking to the right people!
