Very much doubt it. Many people plan around start times, so would be very unusual to see the start time moved up with little to no notice

Well, when two games are being played in sequence on the same court, the second tip is approximate: itā€™s actually something like ā€œ35 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.ā€

But since theyā€™re using different courts here, I donā€™t think that applies.

Full disclaimer: tomorrow at work is gonna suuuuuuuck.

If they win, I donā€™t care. Electrolytes and aspirin at the ready.

Just spun the lazy susan and plucked a pill from each bottle. Thatā€™s called game prep in this house.

Iā€™m thinking itā€™s a big boy night. Hunter, Custard and Johns dominating.

I agree with Charles. They really should take the referee to the hospital.

Nothing like a good Bo Boroski appearance in the Elite Eight!

Alright well. Good luck to the boys. Hope you all have a great time in the thread. As usual, Iā€™ll be too wrapped up in the game to be in here. Go Blue!

The difference between Gonzaga and Michigan on Kenpom is equal to the difference between Michigan and Florida State.

My first thought was he had an aneurysm or something. He was laying motionless with his eyes wide-open and didnā€™t appear to be breathing much. And unlike when a player goes down, they never showed a single replay of what really happened. Not a time to show pride and avoid more assessment, imho.

In the, this seems like an omen, but Iā€™m not sure of what, category, we have well-known Big Ten ref Boroski, and then two guys who have, between them, only one Michigan game in the KenPom era.

It was the 2016 game at Pauley Pavillion. :man_shrugging:
