The annual Javi Sanchez Baton Rouge Regional BBQ always starts at 7 p.m. on opening night. Duh.

Hanagriff said earlier it was because that's the time LSU submitted in its paperwork for the Reigonal bid and the NCAA gave them what they wanted.

Cause we do what we want. This is when we prefer to play.

It's been that way since Skip was coaching.

It goes back to Skip not wanting to play the night game on Friday then have to come back at noon on Saturday for the winners bracket game.
When they changed the regional schedule in 2005 it wasn't as much of a factor anymore since they moved the winners bracket game on Saturday to 7 pm. But LSU stuck with playing during the day.
So it's really basically just a tradition now. Or what LSU's always done.

Mainieri said he likes knowing precisely when his game starts. He doesn't want to wait around for weather or for another game to finish. Sees it as an advantage. Said that in interviews last year.

honestly its because the NCAA hates SLU. They have screwed us the last few post seasons leaving us out when our resume was better than half the field. This year they can't leave us out so they send us to a very respectable LSU squad. While confident in the Roomies ability to win in the Box they put it early as to limit the amount of fans that can come in from Hammond. It will still be a ton but not everyone can get off of work and we all know LSU fans don't have that problem. Saturday and Sunday though will be packed with SLU fans

LSU has a choice and Coach Bertman made a great decision to play the earlier game because of the possible chance of rain delays, and if LSU lost would then have to play at 1 or 2 0'clock. Coach Mainieri is doing the same.
