UConn...NCAA Game 1?

[Blakeon18]

Do we know the date of our game one? Time?

As I understand it the men's NCAA event is in Hartford for the first two games..I think they play Thursday March 21 and March 23....8 teams involved.
Obviously the UConn men won't be there unless they run the table in the conference tourney.
I gather that tickets are going very well.
Would that have an impact on the women's committee about when our women play?

Bob Joyce speculated last night that UConn would play Saturday/Monday (3/23-25) because that’s what ESPN will want.

My women tickets confirmation says Saturday - Monday....

I also noticed that the confirmation said Saturday/Monday, but I called the UConn Athletic Ticket Office and the person I spoke to indicated that despite that, they didn`t know if it was going to be Saturday//Monday or Friday/Sunday.

Having said that, I think Bob Joyce is right, it likely will be Saturday/Monday. Worth noting that UConn has been Saturday/Monday for each of the last four years. ESPN rules.
