7 games yesterday. None today Rest assured none Thursday or Friday . As a die hard ACC fan quite frankly this sucks. I think the Acc is set on shoving womens hoops down our throat.

Saturday games that start at 2 or later are so much better. A noon start on Sunday or any game after 5 are not as good unless you have an incredible matchup. Nobody wants a 7 or 8pm start on Sunday.
My wife played at pitt and we never watch the women if there is a mens game. Once again smf. Stirs the drink in here. ( like reggie)
Thanks smf. Valuable input againGet the eff out of here. Nobody likes women's hoops. The ACC is completr idiots for giving women's bball all day Thursdays and Sundays to play and not maximizing exposure for men's basketball. And I've said this before, it would greatly increase women's bball viewership if they were lead-in to the men or played following the men.

Easy peezie.
More exposure for the women's game. More exposure for the men's game.
Yeah I don’t think many people are watching women’s hoops. That’s just the way it is. As the father of women in sport, and as a man who has spent many years developing female athletes and helping them find the colleges for them…no one really cares enough to watch. I’m comfortable enough in my own skin to say that, in spite of being one of the biggest women’s sports advocates on this board.
And let me add thar more importantly, ACC basketball has to schedule better to game college hoops like the mountain west and other leagues do. We do have a garage run league. Is Gary Bettman the commish?
Agreed - hopefully Cal, Stanford, and SMU occupy the large majority of those time slots.They also dont want a 9PM start on a Tuesday.

That was pretty low.Sure they do in windber when they are not shooting bambi
It's going to be interesting to see how they do the schedule, but with the travel involved I would imagine that Cal and Stanford are not hosting very many Tuesday or Wednesday home games. They are going to get a lot of Thursday - Saturday weekends, may some Thursday - Sunday ones. But if you send a team out there to play Cal and Stanford and one of those games is on a Tuesday or a Wednesday that's going to have a team miss a lot of school days. And the academic people and the people in the athletic departments who still at least pay lip service to academics are not going to want that at all.
College baseball/softball teams do a lot of traveling in February and March. It shouldn’t be an issue with only 1 long trip for basketball.It's going to be interesting to see how they do the schedule, but with the travel involved I would imagine that Cal and Stanford are not hosting very many Tuesday or Wednesday home games.

I think ESPN is shoving their preferences down the ACC's throat.7 games yesterday. None today Rest assured none Thursday or Friday . As a die hard ACC fan quite frankly this sucks. I think the Acc is set on shoving womens hoops down our throat.
ACCN seems to want to put other stuff on as well, lacrosse, wrestling, gymnastics, baseball, softball etc. So they won't fill the whole schedule with hoops.Get the eff out of here.

Last year before a Pitt game, we had to sit through a MAC women’s basketball game that I believe was in OT. I think it was Miami and someone else. Now, it was the MAC so the athletes were shorter and better looking, but I actually enjoyed it for a few minutes until I started to get annoyed that we were missing the Pitt game.If you wanted to maximize eyeballs on women's hoops, would you give them Thursdays and Sundays to themselves or would you schedule them before/after men's games. For me, personally, if I'm watching an ACC men's game and the announcers say stay tuned for Pitt vs UVa women, there's a 20% chance I stay and watch. There's a 0% I watch if I wasnt watching an ACC men's game before.

I'd think that Cal/Stan alternate East Coast trips.
I think there is almost no way that's how they do it. Cal and Stanford are going to get a lot of home weekends together and a lot of road weekends together. Because they are going to, for instance, send Pitt and Syracuse out west, and they are both going to play Cal and Stanford while they are there. One will play at Cal while the other plays at Stanford on a Thursday, and then they flip-flop and play the other on Saturday.
In other words, it's going to look an awful lot like the PAC12 current schedule. Every school has a partner, and two schools go play the two partners. As an example, this week, USC at Washington State on Thursday, UCLA at Washington on Thursday, USC at Washington on Saturday, UCLA at Washington State on Saturday. Cal at Colorado Wednesday, Stanford at Utah on Thursday, Cal at Utah on Saturday, Stanford at Colorado on Sunday.
Expect the ACC to do something similar with the California schools.
Yea. That makes sense. Like Pitt would make 1 Bay Area trip every other year. So Cal and Stanford may travel and host together but they'll probably travel like every other week. So one week at home, the next week on the East coast, leaving Tuesday morning, getting back Saturday night (if the ACC continues to refuse Thu/Sun games)
