    Sweet sixteen games scheduled on top of each other….?

    Why on earth are the sweet sixteen games scheduled on top of each other….? Who was the idiot that decided to televise 4 games in the time it takes to play two?

    This is the way the sweet sixteen has been scheduled for years. 2 games in the 6 o'clock hour and 2 games 30 minutes after the finishes.

    You are obviously new to college ball as this is the way the sweet 16 games have always been. Games of this magnitude would not fly during the day.

    I'd rather have this than a 2:00 4:30 7:00 and 9:30 split. Have classes and/or work, now I can see all of them

    Yeah I'd rather see them start play at 1pm, 4:30pm, 7:30pm and 10:30pm.... oh well it doesn't matter what I think. Atleast this way if one of the games is a blowout you have another option to watch.

    - 7:15pm and 9:45pm slot for site 2.

    that would be ideal, b-ball all day again like last week, unfortunately this is the ways its been and they probably won't change it out of the primetime slots.

    while this is how the sweet 16 has been televised for some time now, they did change the scheduling for the round 1 & 2 games compared to last year.
