Gonzaga Saturday Game Time?

[Grafcat]

When will we know?

 

[T_Levine]

Source in slc saying early game but that's all we know so far.

 

[SmellyCat]

My guess is either 7:00 eastern or 9:30 eastern, but it's up to the bean counters I guess.

 

[olsh]

Wow, 7 AM really IS early

 

[SmellyCat]

Yeah, and imagine if it were Stanford! That's like one in the morning according to their bodies. I'm sure that's why they're not even in the tournament.

 

[olsh]

Well if they did make the tournament and get sent out East, they'd probably get to play double elimination just to be fair.

 

[T_Levine]

Here is the time schedule with no games slotted yet. All times eastern.

12:00 PM To be announced CBS
2:30 PM To be announced CBS
5:00 PM To be announced CBS
6:00 PM To be announced TNT
7:00 PM To be announced TBS
7:30 PM To be announced CBS
8:30 PM To be announced TNT
9:30 PM To be announced

Given that NU is the farthest west, it almost definitely means the 9:30 game is one of the SLC games. Working backwards from that, probably the 7:00 is the other SLC game. So I'd count on that. One of those games is St. Mary's-Arizona (assuming they win tonight). My guess is our game is the primetime game. I'd say 83% 7:00.

I sort of agree, but think that the network is also a factor - they might want #1 seed vs the NU story on CBS and so that means 7:30 (and 5 for other SLC game). Of course Arizona (also SLC) is another good for CBS prime game. Wait and see......

Whatever time there tends to be a larger female audience, they'll schedule the NU game. CBS knows women appreciate a stiff D.

 

[Deeringfish]

According to the front page Sat at 1:00pm

 

[T_Levine]

If the 1pm game is correct that makes it the 230 eastern time slot I would imagine. So 1:30 tip. But no other place is confirming that

 

[T_Levine]

Just called the sports desk at the salt lake tribune. It's 941 slc time and they don't know yet. Their guess is the 5 and 730 mtn time slots as those are close to the practice times tomorrow.

Won't know until the last game tonight is over.

 

[T_Levine]

It's 9:06 California time right now and the vivint arena website has the first game at 6pm. Don't know what they know but just reporting what I'm finding.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

4:15 pm, CBS.

And by "time" you mean opening tip, I presume.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Yes, the time refers to just the tip.

 

[gradeck]

That "4:15" time is Central.

5:15 Eastern; 3:15 Mountain for those of us in SLC.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

All times are Wildcat time, Central.
