hate 9pm games? It was always nice when we were in the big east we always played in the early time slot on big monday.the 9pm slot always seemed like playing second fiddle.

The other bad thing is,the game in front of us is running at a snails pace which means it will run into ours.and since tonight’s game isn’t an espn/acc network production they wont start on another channel.but I might be wrong.

I hate 9pm games since I have to wake up at 4am.

I’m half asleep. Pretty much like our team.

Similar. I got up at 5:15am last year but we moved a bit closer to work for my wife and now it's 5:40am. The late starts are just brutal for me. Not sure why Pitt tips off 2 hours later than an Eastern Conference NBA game.

It's all about tv scheduling,

Yes, but it is pretty bad for the product when you expect the game to be on and it is getting preempted by the one before it. They need to start the second game 15 minutes later.

I have never understood when its 2 east coast teams the need to start at 7. Our game in a few weeks starts at 630. Maybe because I get home early, I am in the minority here, but I would say most of my neighbors are home no later than 5. Why not start games earlier? Oh well.

Because people actually have to get to the games too, not just turn on the television. And the earlier games start the harder it is for people to attend.

Agreed I hate 9pm games. It's hard to make those games in person, much less watch on TV.

Some of us have to work for a living.
