Stupid Nebraska and its central time. That’s a late-ass start time, and the game will inevitably get delayed.

I don't know why they won't start things at 6:00 Eastern. That's 5:00 and 7:15 in stupid Nebraska, but I'd rather go earlier by an hour than at 8:15 Central, especially on a school night. We don't get home until around 10:45-11:00. I think more people would watch if they started earlier!

I'm quite happy they don't have games starting at 5.

8:00pm game can be rough. FS1 and BTN years ago did switch to 5:30/7:45 game doubleheaders. Problem is the two hosting teams are both in the central time zone on Tuesday.

Good thing we don't have go to games in the eastern time zone. Those ACC games on ESPN or some Big Ten games start after 9pm.

Yep. No ratings. Fans still at work.

Unless Jay and the boys find a way to be more creative on offense I foresee me and my boy gtmo high fiving at the conclusion of this game as Creighton walks off the court victorious. The 5 out, 0 in, pass around the perimeter and chuck up a 3, or watch guys who have limited ability to break down a man try and go one-on-one to score has not been serving us well. Hoping some adjustments are made soon or the Wildcats are gonna have a hell of a time in the Big East this year and not in a good way.

Marquette line down to -5.5

The Friars are again wearing our sweet throwback uniforms, which to me look like the 1973 ones, though the claim is that they're 1984-era (which they're not).

And again let me say that in 1978 basically only 4 teams wore black uniforms-- the Friars, Raiders, White Sox, and Spurs. Now everyone has stolen our sweet look!

To be honest, I can't predict any of these games. I really feel that anyone can beat anyone this year. Should be two good games tonight.
