NCAA Basketball 2012-13 Season

[BillD1984]

Indiana is the preseason #1, but other perennial powers (Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, UNC, UCLA and Louisville) are also top contenders for the National Title.

Crazy start times locally for some of these games, but that's what makes this fun!

Midnight for the game in New Mexico
11:00pm for the game in Hawaii
6:00am for the game in New Jersey (Rider)
7:00am for the game in Indiana (Valpo)

IMO, the best part is the fans going crazy in some of these 3,000 seat "gyms"!

So when does a tourney name mean nothing.......when ESPN has a say

so today there are 2 games from the "Maui Invitational"....except the games are in NC & WI.....
Florida Atlantic @ UNC
Colgate @ Marquette

They are calling it "Maui on the Mainland" or something stupid like that

The REAL Maui invitational is next week

The Hawaii game has ALWAYS been at 11 local time.....I mean where else would they have the game?
Those 6AM Eastern time game always is a blast....most of the kids there are hung over and didnt sleep the night before

That midnight game in NM outta be fun.....usually its a 11PM start on the west coast like St Marys

 

[BillD1984]

True. You couldn't have a 4AM on campus start......that's just asking for trouble.

 

[Mr Tony]

I know they wouldnt do this because they are D2 but ESPN could always do a game from Anchorage or Fairbanks (maybe against each other)...that would start at 10PM local time (2 Eastern)

 

[BillD1984]

I've always wanted to attend the 8:00 am game (this year it's a 7:00am local game). If BC, BU, Northeastern or Harvard ever hosts one, I'd love to get tickets.

Interesting view of the Syracuse/San Diego State game from the USS Midway.

 

[salsadancer7]

That was cool view from the ship. It was almost like a really well organized outdoor game.

WV got blasted off the court.

Bama with a strong start to the season wins the 2k classic. Beating Villanova by 22.

Ralph Sampson agrees with you.

Ralph Sampson agrees with you.

And in those days of NO virtual media, you did not find out till a day later...and you did not confirm it was not a joke until 2 days later!
