2011 NCAA Tournament

Dook doesn't either.

I noticed that too, that really is surprising ....
Is ANY of the Top draw teams playing in Prime time ?
What were they thinking ?

Thats like the Yankees making the Playoffs and playing a 1 pm game.

 

[Jimbo]

I really like the new time spacing of the games. With games having starts in the 3 and 4pm hours it will mean literally 12+ consecutive hours of hoops....

For the first weekend, isn't it always like that for the opening round ?

 

[Ramy]

Ramy would have had quite the dilemma if UK had to face Morehead State.

Hmmm. I have been a fan of UK all my life, but I went to Morehead. UK all the way, sorry Morehead.

Have no fear, UConn is on at 7 EDT.

Yes, but there was a gap (for most) around 5pm. Only local markets and MMM subs got it.

 

[HD MM]

The # 1 team in the nation doesn't even get a Prime time game ?????

Bucks play at 4:40 in the afternoon ?

In all fairness, a #1 vs a #16 isn't exactly compelling television.

OK, this is why you really need to marry the right guy.

We're watching the Utah State/Boise State WAC championship game Saturday night, and I comment on how much I love the 'I Believe That We Will Win' t-shirt most of the Aggie fans are wearing. My fiance hears me talking to my cousin the Aggiette dancer/cheerleader combo girl on Sunday, somehow connects with her sometime after that, and what shows up on my doorstep this morning from UPS, about a half hour ago? MY VERY OWN T-SHIRT!!! I love it! Oh, and him too, lol.

With my luck of course they're playing Kansas State on Thursday night the same time St John's is playing Gonzaga, so I'll be wearing blue while we'll have both games on at the same time.

I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!

Kansas State has a tendency to play up or down to their opponents (and they don't have Clemente), so I do think Utah State has a legit chance to win.

I agree, but it didn't stop CBS from putting them on east coast prime time slots in the past...

True, but most years DUKE and NC are on in Prime time in thier 1st round games, afterall, SOMEONE has to play in PT

These picks are from my heart, not my head:

Syracuse, San Diego State, Georgetown, Utah State...although I won't be TOO disappointed if St John's beats the Aggies in the regional final!
