The tv schedule last weekend was awful. On Saturday and Sunday, you only had 2 of 8 games completed by 4:00 PM. That meant that the final games of the evening were starting around 9:30 CST



You can thank CBS for that... There must be something in the NCAA tv deal that lets CBS have three games on their own on the 1st weekend... If you look, They were the only network showing games until like 6 ET....... As far as this week. Its all about TV ratings and if they show games during working hours you have less people in the stands and less people watching...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Because CBS thinks people will throw a shite fit if Duke, UCLA and Kentucky don't play in front of a captive national audience.
