Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Smart move by the ACC. We'll see how this impacts the BET ratings.

Those Saturday evenings are going to be crowded on the CCG front. Big East, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, and AAC are all on the same day. I know the SEC and Big Ten have their title games on Sunday, at least. No idea about the A-10 or MWC.

Any idea as to whether those five major CCG's would be played simultaneously or some in prime time with others earlier in the afternoon? Pac-12, I suppose, could play at around 7 PM local time, but that would be 10 PM on the east coast.

A10 is Sunday and MWC is Saturday.

I'm thinking FS1 will do maybe an 8pm and 11pm start for BE and P12. I would think ESPN would want ACC in primetime as well so probably 8pm.
