Just a peeve of mine - why are we getting all these stupid start times? 11:00 am, 12:30 pm, 1:00 pm...
Wouldn't it be logical, if you're ranked in the top 5 or 10, to schedule games that are going to be seen by more people? Like 6, 7 or 8 Central Time?
Blame cable
Don't really think this has as much to do with being Cable - -this game being on CBS, and Networks like that don't normally run Basketball in prime time. They're games on the weekends during the regular season is usually ALL day time games , even Sunday games are during the day. The only times you see these Networks run prime time games Networks such a CBS/ NBC are during the Tourney.
Agree though hate these times especially the 11:00 starts. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
The reason that ESPN doesn't have great games on late at night is because they have their NBA Showcase game on ABC at 7 in Prime time and they don't want much competition. It seems to me it's been a couple years at least since CBB was played in Prime time.
