They want their media darlings UConn in prime time 

Monday, March 24 (Second Round/Round of 32)

Quick turnaround favors Texas - no starter played more than 27 minutes. Illinois only played 6 in their win and none played fewer than 27 minutes.

What a slap in the face for a 1 seed to play that early in the afternoon. Not even the 6:00 time slot? Good grief.

Yeah, feels like they could have put LSU or UNC there and let Texas have the 5/6 window.

I’m not too worked up about the time thing for the 2nd round game. Just get it over with and tell the team to go to bed and get some rest. 

No stopping at Wendy’s. Go straight home.

Tied for largest margin of victory in a NCAA tournament game in program history per the ESPN

Vic sure seems to keep hitting a bunch of milestones not seen since the glory days (84-89). Program just needs a F4 and back to where we belong

Vic is definitely unhappy about it.

"I was just told are we playing at 1:00 on Monday?" Schaefer asked the crowd. "Make it make sense, please."

"When I say make it make sense, what time is it? It's 11:20 and my kids are going to be back in here tomorrow in the afternoon," Schaefer said. "Got to get them back up... if we're going to have a shoot around, got to be in here at 7:00 in the morning for a 1:00 tip."

At one point during the presser, when he started thinking about the tip-off time for his next matchup, the Texas head coach literally started hitting his head against the microphone in front of him.

"It's problematic just from a recovery standpoint. I mean, I think my kids are in pretty good shape and pretty tough," Schaefer said. "So anyway, it is what it is. We'll have to be ready."

Between Vic and Geno complaining about tournament issues, we just need Dawn to complain about something and make this a trifecta.

No one will listen to Mulkey because she just bitches all the time.

I was hoping OSU would win - that first TN matchup we had was too close for comfort. I don’t imagine TN will be over 50 percent from 3 again, but still…

Vic’s first time seeing a Kim Caldwell offense. I really like how Vic adjusts to the second time he sees someone’s offense

How about Danny Davis ask the actual NCAA why they chose that time instead of the Illinois corch

Doesn’t ESPN pick? I also don’t understand why they don’t have the teams who match up in the S16 play the same days for R1/R2

My prediction is that our overwhelmingly deeper team just physically wears out a team only playing 6 players. Have fun with 40 min of hell and no breathers.

Bostic is good but she’s about to meet the Twin Towers

If our Sweet 16 is on ABC, here are the 3 possible timeslots:

Saturday, March 29 (Sweet 16)

  • 1 p.m. on ABC
  • 3:30 p.m. on ABC
  • 5:30 p.m. on ABC
  • 8 p.m. on ESPN

There was at least 1 foul by Illinois I saw that wasn’t called. 

But honestly, Illinois is too slow on defense to keep up with us so I see how they had no calls. You can’t foul when we beat you on the offensive end because of quickness. 

In games like this, they’ll get tired quicker and will start fouling. It’ll even out (or should)

Rev Vic hasn’t said anything so all is well so far…

I agree....As much as I like Jones' play albeit she has a problem holding onto the ball with any challenges, Smiley isn't gonna put up with that shit.

She’s not finishing that much better
