Vegas Planning

It's clear that the NCAA Committee took our Vegas plans into account and put a lot of our teams on the Thursday-Saturday rotiation to avoid golf conflicts.

Here is the first round schedule for the games:

Tbursday

12:20 ET/9:20 PT
8 LSU vs 9 Butler
2 Memphis vs 15 CS-Northridge
8 BYU vs 9 Texas A&M
2:40 ET/11:40 PT
4 Purdue vs 13 Northern Iowa
1 North Carolina vs 16 Radford
7 California vs 10 Maryland
1 Connecticut vs 16 Chattanooga
5:00 ET/2:00 PT
4 Washington vs 13 Mississippi St
7:15 ET/ 4:15 PT
7 Clemson vs 10 Michigan
7 Texas vs 10 Minnesota
3 Villanova vs 14 American
4 Gonzaga vs 13 Akron
9:45 ET / 6:45 PT
2 Oklahoma vs 15 Morgan St
2 Duke vs 15 Binghampton
6 UCLA vs 11 VCU
5 Illinois vs 12 Western Kentucky

So the opening tipoff is Butler- LSU. Not bad at all.
The Maryland-Purdue coflict will be interesting for the group, and a lot of games of interest at 4 pm PT.

Friday

12:20 ET / 9:20 PT (we will miss these games)
3 Syracuse vs 14 Stephen F Austin
8 Oklahoma St vs 9 Tennessee
6 Marquette vs 11 Utah St
3 Kansas vs 14 North Dakota St
2:50 ET/ 11:50 PT
6 Arizona St vs 11 Temple
1 Pittsburgh vs 16 E Tenn St
3 Missouri vs 14 Cornell
6 West Virginia vs 11 Dayton
7:15 ET / 4:15 PT
5 Utah vs 12 Arizona
7 Boston College vs 10 Southern Cal
4 Xavier vs 13 Portland St
1 Louisville vs 16 Play-in
9:45 ET / 6:45 PT
8 Ohio St vs 9 Siena
4 Wake Forest vs 13 Cleveland St
2 Michigan St vs 15 Robert Morris
5 Florida St vs 12 Wisconsin

So my mission is clear - play fast enough so we can get back in time for the Dayton tipoff at noon.

You play fast? I think we need an over/under on that proposition.
