wouldn't mind Tech playing on Friday

[sportdawg]

Since Bama/Miami are playing Saturday - their Quarterfinal opponent has to play Friday or Sunday (Unless ESPN changes their timeslots)
Since Rhode Island/Stanford are playing Sunday - their Quarterfinal opponenet has to also play Friday or Sunday.

The Quarters are on Tuesday/Wednesday, so I doubt the NCAA would allow a team to play on Monday and have to travel for a Tuesday game.
Therefore, it looks like we will play on Monday.

I don't think they'd play a West Coast game at 8 am local time. (this isn't a CUSA Tournament) - Probable matchup of Colorado State vs. Vandy/St Mary's winner will be Friday Night.
That puts a probable Richmond/ UCONN matchup on Sunday morning

Not sure - was looking for an updated NIT bracket and that's the one I found from Fansided (SI)

The official NIT mascot, the Yeti Wookie White Walker.

It looks like a bad logo from Dodgeball.

I hope Maya doesn't see that.

Tech has confirmed it will be Monday. They still don't know the tip time or network.

Dang....... I have to be in Beaumont on Monday and Tuesday. Back to hoping they have the channel on the TV at the hotel. They do have a sports bar downstairs, so if it is ESPN1, 2, or U, I should be fine.

Monday. wow. Cbs sports. yahoo sports and another sports app all had the game on Friday.

I wonder if A&M begged for Monday went their students would back from spring break.

[DJDAWG]

I bet they begged for Monday to give House another couple days to heal up.

Aggies likely will be without their top player, guard Danuel House, who’s missed the last three games with a badly sprained foot, suffered against Louisiana Tech.

What? I missed that one.
