Tournament scheduling is the worst

Every year I get so frustrated by this. Why are four games all starting after 10pm eastern? Why is Georgia starting at 10:10? From 4:30 - 6:50pm not one game tipped off. I just don’t understand it.

Because you can’t play two games on the same court at the same time

The only thing that bothers me is when the sweet 16 games all start within 20 minutes of each other after they’ve waste the first 8 hours of the day on the crappiest game available.

Understand that but I’m sure it’s possible to have games overlap dead time a little better.

At least it's not ESPN where you have to click through 3 screens to see what games are on
Can't just put all games on 1 screen
Have to go to CBS Sports for that

Yeah the 5:38, 6:08,6:38 tip times can suck it

What's worse is you know where the round of 32 games are going to played, the teams are already there, and after the 2 winning teams have played you have no idea what time it'll be on Saturday.
Why the hell don't they schedule times for the 2nd round in advance? People are gonna watch regardless of who it is.

Seems like it’s worst than it used to be. Used to seems like one tip maybe after 9 central. Others would go at like 8:20
or 8:30
or 8:30

Yeah, it's pretty weird. You've got UConn and Furman - two east coast teams - tipping off at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight, but Arizona as the #1 seed in San Diego tipping off at 10:35 AM Pacific this morning. It all seems totally random.

My biggest gripe is how they manage to have all 3 games at halftime at the same time.

I forgot to schedule my vascectomy for this week so I could sit on the couch all day and watch the games. 
Posted on 3/20/26 at 8:38 am to ChiGator
well, they were all blowouts really, so didn't miss much
Posted on 3/20/26 at 8:43 am to Magnus
they need to have some games in the west coast market
Posted on 3/20/26 at 8:47 am to migui8618
the OT hurt the games being staggered.

I assumed some network TV pushback?
I don’t know. Networks are the ones with multibillion dollars connected to this tournament
If it made money, they would do it

Not sure what you mean. Sweet 16 games on each day are played at two sites, so you can’t start them all within 20 minutes if they share a court.

Alabama playing on a Sunday night at 9:45pm is f'n absurd but whatever.
