Late Game Time

[allfourcy]

Just curious.....what does the team do to stay ready for such a ridiculous late game time, especially EST?
I have no idea. Imagine an afternoon nap would be difficult, or maybe not a good idea? You can only film study/prep so much. Or play cards. I realize its equal for both teams but seems like it would be a LONG day. GO STATE!!!!

I would think awkward schedules become the norm with the team? It is harder on fans than them, my opinion. We are driving soon to a restaurant 20 minutes away to have an award winning tenderloin. That will fill this fans time this evening.

Hopefully they’ve stayed on CT and it’s only an 8:15 game for them

These start times make absolutely no sense. Lets start the region where it's 4:00 ahead of the region where its 7pm.

x1000%! I just posted this in the game thread. This is SO f'ing stupid. Screw the NCAA.

This current Clemson-Arizona game tipped at 4 pm in LA. Wut?

It’s a half hour difference in start time between 2 sites lol. What does it even matter.

Yup. I’ve been on the west coast all week working 12-14 hour days to cover three time zones. I’m losing it…

Would you like to play at 10:15 pm at night?

I know both teams have to do it... but it's just horrible planning.

It’s play at 10:15 or play at 9:45…the only way to get away from a late start is play the Sweet 16 at 4 different locations and start everything at 7 eastern.

It's not about planning. It's about making money. He who writes the checks gets the best bang for their buck with these windows.

It’s been similar to this for 10 years too. The anger over this has been mind boggling

It’s not like this is a broomball game. This is nuthin.

It reminds me of my sons in intramural curling where they could only get ice time around midnight

???? It’s a 9:15 game CT

 

[EvilBetty]

Who wins by having a game this late? What is the rationale?

You start the east coast game at 6 est and tip the second at 8, not that hard

 

[CyCrazy]

It sucks for fans but it is what it is.

Thank you, this has been driving me nuts all week.

Funny enough I went back 10 years and there have been Sweet 16’s that have started later than what they started today.
