CBS knows where the ratings are LOL
Clockwork. Really would be great if Xavier/Texas wins Friday night. That team would have to go after 9 pm Wednesday, close to 10 pm Friday in a different city, and then presumably mid afternoon Sunday.
I honestly can't remember the last time we had a day game in the opening round. I believe we did the few times kentucky was a 1 seed.. but it seems like we been playing this 7-8pm game for years now.
I think it was against Princeton in 2011
Best part is we get Kevin Harlan. He is one of the best announcers out there
Nice, means I can get some golf or pickleball in before the game.

2015 was late Thursday Hampton
2016 was late Thursday stony brook

Friday evening, you can’t get more Prime Time than that. Glad it’s not super late on a weeknight, or in the middle of a work day

It was the last day game we had n first round.
You sure about 2017? I’m 99% sure we played NKU at like 9:30pm.
Yep, I remember that one. That was parade day in Albany. Watched that game with like 4 Guinness' in me and was sweating big time.
Works out perfect. This is the first year in 10+ that I wasn't able to take the day off.
Hearing that someone now has to work during the best sporting event of the year, ehile previously being off for it, is truly an American tragedy.
My favorite day and time slot. God forbid we lose, at least I got to enjoy most of the first round beforehand.
Once we lose my interest takes a massive nosedive. Also there’s no waiting around for a game to end like we dealt with last weekend.

Agree, and then on Sunday I like being that 5 o clock prime time slot
You mean I don’t get Karl Ravech and Jimmy Dykes for the 50th time this season?
I look at it as position in a poker game. Nice to have information before we play, especially if you are a betting man.
You know.....I don't really think the SEC is going to do well in this thing............
Did you know that since January, SEC teams are only .500? lol

We don’t have to hear a guy say our player getting elbowed in his mouth is a good basketball play
Exactly why I love the Friday evening games. It also means that if we win on Friday, I get to enjoy a full day of Sat games as well.
Yep this is why I love it.
And say we lose second round, if it's one of the last games of the day, I'll have a few days to get over the sadness and still be able to watch the following week.
Lost on a Thursday and what is IMO the best four days of college bball, all of a sudden I have no desire to see.
My oldest certainly thinks so bc now he has to go to school too lol
I’m glad it’s at 7:10pm because I have to work to 2:30 that day but I will be watching on the computer all the other games…🤣
I remember one, not sure if it was the last though.

I believe it tipped off the tourney that year.
We played EKU. Only won by 8 in a game that was pretty jacked up in terms of officiating. Reffed by our boy John Higgins.
was gonna answer but you beat me to it. Great minds think alike. It was a sunny, warm day in Kentucky cause I remember shooting around at halftime cause I was nervous.
Perfect timing for us. We get the whole first round without worrying about being out basically. And it’s not going to be late enough to where it will affect our rest
It was cold as balls up by me. But it always is for the most part haha.
Funny story. Last year our fantasy football punishment was the loser had to stand outside the bar on march madness and play the flute until he collected $20. It was like 40 degrees but with like 30-40mph winds.. it was brutally cold for those 3 hours he had to stand out there playing awful flute music hahaha.
I did the same shit lol. I was young like 8 or 9 and I didn’t have the attention span to sit that long
