Coach B can't say it so I will. Having to travel that far and compete on 2 hrs sleep was TOTAL BS! The NCAA should have done a much better job of making it at least fair. Who were the people who saw that format and said "that will work"? A 3rd grader could look at that and see that it was stupid. And whoever put that together, NCAA, TV, were complete, blithering idiots.

I think you read what he was saying wrong

we played tuesday in the "1st round" game - traveled to Tampa and arrived at 5am - had a full day of practice/rest/interviewing - woke up Thursday at 7am to get ready for thursday's 12 am game...

To be fair, that article was poorly written...


Aug 4, 2011, 3:46 PM

it also made it sound like we played in the First Four game and then caught a plane 40 hours later to play WVU.

When I read the article, I too thought that he was saying they got in at 5am, and woke up at 7am to begin preparing for their game the next day.

We beat WVU if the game is Friday.

That's it?!?

The NCAA is only telling CBS/Turner not to slot into the "first TV game time on Thursday?" Playing in the second TV game, 2 hours later on Thursday afternoon, isn't any different. Why not just schedule the First Round games of the First Four winners on Friday? This isn't rocket science.

How about not putting 11 and 12 seeds in the first four anyway. The first four should be the bottom 8 teams playing for the last 4 #16 seeds.
