[volplaya8]

No change in tip times. The First Four starts that early, but regional semis have always started at 7pm.

I beg to differ sir…that’s just last season

Good catch - 30 minutes earlier last year. I’m guessing last year was earlier because you had two regionals in the Eastern time zone, vs just one this year. 5 years ago tip times were the same as this year. I know they’ve never started before 6:30.

I don't think a bunch of twenty-something college kids are going to be worried about being "tired" with a 10 pm tipoff for an NCAA tournament game.

I’m thinking all of us are worried we are going to be tired on our couches after a long work week…lol

 

[Hulavol]

Yeah - anybody sad about the tip time - like me- is just an old fart - think back to when you were in college on Friday night - the band hadn’t even started yet !

 

[volwindy]

Gotta protect their Dukies, Marquette, Gonzaga/Purdue and just make sure Tennessee last time slots.

Uh, Duke has the second game night slot like us.

 

[hUTch2002]

So, Tennessee gets the LATE late game. 20 minutes after the 7:40 tip concludes. Likely means 10:00 PM, yuck.

With the FT machine that is Purdue we might not be on until after 11.

 

[Vols till I fall]

I know everyone beyond the age 25 will be mad

 

[Ghost of Archvol]

Why is everyone in here worried about 18 to 23 year olds being tired because the game tips at 10 o'clock? I never had a problem getting tired that early at that age, and I sure as hell wasn't built like these dudes. "Being tired" will have nothing to do with the result, because no one on the court is going to be, unless you think the teams are running a marathon before the game starts.

it’s not that; it’s than many on this board wanna hit the hay right after murder she wrote and that tip time is just too darn late. . but yeah, I get it. I wish it was earlier.

 

[hUTch2002]

I feel like week 2 usually tips off around 5 pm EST, right? Why so late this year?

No, it’s always been a 7-something slot and then the second games starting 10 or so. I worked at these rounds when they came through Knoxville back in 1999. It was super fun but I got home at like 2-3am Thursday and Friday.

 

[Wezcoast]

I'm not big into BB , but that likely E8 slate looks to be brutal.

The late tip time should not make a difference to either team.

 

[NEO]

10pm start time????

Game goes into overtime and it’ll be 2am before it’s over.

 

[orangemadam]

I'm sure it's one of those conspiracies like ESPN hates us, refs are paid off, etc.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Wow. We’ll prob shoot like **** again. They’ll be tired

when I was in college I didn’t know anybody, including myself, that went to bed at 10pm lol

 

[Volfan574]

I think these young guys will be fine but 10pm is ridiculously late to start a game. Coaches might have a harder time with it.

 

[knoxvol52]

Tip times hates Tennessee..

 

[theroyz71]

I know everyone beyond the age 25 will be mad

So, Santi and JJJ?

Just kidding, I have no idea how old they are.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

What a crap start time, they should start games earlier in the day

 

[JCP201]

So, Tennessee gets the LATE late game. 20 minutes after the 7:40 tip concludes. Likely means 10:00 PM, yuck.

we play better at night.

 

[knoxvol52]

Well, I love it because I have tickets for the baseVols vs Georgia at 6:30 that night! Now I can get home in time to watch!

Happy for you Professor best of both Worlds Friday.

The Tip time is just another bone for some to chew on.

Gross.

 

[njvols]

Well, our luck in advancing during normal viewing times in the past hasn't been so great, so...

 

[PreacherVol2]

They should embrace it by getting really excited about playing under the “Friday Night Lights”! I myself am looking forward to being able to sit back after a full week and enjoy watching our Vols dismantle and destroy Creighton! GBO!
