Anyone else find the start times for these games annoying? 7:37? 9:07? 9:27?

PEOPLESCHICKEN · Mar 20, 2018

7:30
9:00
9:30

is that so hard?

Impossible to start the late games at 9 and 930 considering the first game will take at least 2 hours.

Stupid thread. Basically bitching about 7 minutes...

So you are saying that a game starting at 7:37 is going to end at 9:37?

Yea sure

At minimum. Very rare to see a college game finish in less than 2 hours.

They always overlap anyways, so the fancy start times accomplish what exactly?

More importantly, what time does North Carolina play? I've looked everywhere and can't find their start time.

I think they are trying to get a late entrance into the NIT

It is strange, 7 PM and 10 PM EST for the start times would make more sense to me.

Because they're tip times.

Need 7 or 10 minutes for the announcers to introduce themselves and Charles Barkley to say something profoundly stupid...

Why? There is no need for a close to an hr break between games. 30 minutes is long enough

NOT like this is a NEW thing with sports TV game starts. :rolleyes2:

7 Minutes in Heaven? :noidea:

The on-air time is on the :00. You need a few minutes for the announcers. They could go to the :10 mark but it's really not relevant.
