Big Ten loves Friday Night Hoops

[Sean Miller Fan]

I love how innovative that league is. If you look at the ACC, there are 4 games as at noon tomorrow, 2 at 2:00. Only 1 game starts later than 2 and thats a 6PM game.

Hopefully when the ACCN starts, one of these types of games gets shifted to Friday night and the others are spread throughout the day and night on Saturdays.

Without looking, there has been Friday night games for a while now (maybe not ACC specific, but definitely Big 12) - not just B1G. I could be wrong.

It’s all about FOX going gangbusters showing tons of college hoops. I believe they have games every day of the week on FS1 and FOX between the Big Ten, Pac 12 and Big East. Their coverage is excellent.

Putting bad Big 10 basketball up against NBA games on Friday nights is innovative? Okay...

Haha, I was home..Indiana/Maryland and Wisky/Purdue
I like the idea of games on Friday's...less worrying on the weekends lol..I'm sure it'll be a couple Friday night games, just like Pitt for Football, may have 1 during the season.

So many games on Saturday's, I'm fine with a handful on Friday's.

Do the schedule makers take the NFL into account? If Pitt isn't on I'm not watching ACC like GT-Cuse over nfl. And I'm pretty sure Friday has usually been MAAC heavy. Providers need content so I'm sure there will be more. I don't remember Big10 on Fridays until yesterday???

B1G has scheduled these for at least the last 2 years.
