Thought it was Thursday?

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

I accidentally typed Friday I fixed it my bad.

Hmmm...CatinIL may be headed to Des Moines...

 

[zannmann]

Seriously?!?! I hate those late games. We probably won't tip til 10

 

[mdlUK.1]

Crap. Can they screw UK fans any harder?

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

Rafferty Nantz and grant hill calling the game.

Love it. Think I might drive the 9 hours from Denver.

 

[mdlUK.1]

iu probably gets a noon tip. Gotta give em plenty of rest.

If we play at 9:40 they will be playing at 7:10

 

[zannmann]

They put us on the late game for ratings. They know us nuts will stay up and watch it.

Raftery will cancel out Nance's hatred for the Cats.

Five seed gets early tip over four seed

 

[KY_Kid]

As the 4 seed, we should get the first game for rest purposes. Not the 5 seed.

no kidding WTF!

Duke plays early am in their bracket

 

[Blueisbest]

I hate the late game. Working 3rd shift makes it hard to watch the game and I can't afford to take off work.

Screwed UK on Seed,Screwed UK on Location,might as well Screw UK on time too.of all the sites why the #$%^ is playing in freaking Des Moines is beyond me,Des Moines must be facing bankruptcy and needs Kentucky Fans $$$$

 

[TheDude73]

Well never mind - they've already jacked up ticket prices and scalpers have taken every package for Des Moines. I ain't paying $1850 for a weekend of basketball games. Would rather spend $100 and hang out with fellow fans at a bar. Idiot scalpers.

And this tells us all they manufactured a UK-IU second round game.

Stoney Brook better eat their Wheaties.

 

[jameslee32]

CBS media whores would sell their mothers for the primetime ratings.

Five seed gets early tip over four seed

Duke and Cal both play the first games. Uk and Iowa St. play the second games. Iowa St plays an afternoon game so we are the only 4 seed playing the late night game.

That is usually when happy hour starts around Lexington. Late for us working folk but these type of games don't happen very often, especially on St Patrick's Day.

Dukes AD was on the committee. Not sure if that had anything to do with time slots but you can bet it helped out that seeding and favorable bracket.

 

[Blue_White_KY]

Kentucky is the only 4 seed who plays after the 5 seed. That's BS.

 

[ok-cats-computer]

I would wager big money that we will have the latest game on Saturday as well. UNC fans will have a nice jump on buying tickets in Philly. They do this to us every year.

Game times are assigned for ratings by TV. Period.

 

[BoulderCat_rivals187983]

Well I guess that makes the drive over on Thursday possible. If the KU fans don't buy up all the tickets. Have to admit it's a rather intriguing "pod" for me. KU, CU, UK, and IU. If only it could have been Denver. Then CBS would be doing the games. Instead I'm contemplating the trip with a CU fan/buddy.

I'll be in bed by 9:00.......
