Since we got the (2) seed, we play at 630 PM on Thursday the 10th. Akron as the (1) will play the noon game. Other two games are still TBD but will most likely be the 2nd and 4th games of the day...so 3ish and 9ish?

The 2nd games in each session are 1/2 hour after the first game ends.

If there are going to be games...plural...for us, we're going to either have to play better D or, preferably, be better on the boards.

I am shocked -- shocked -- that they have Akron and Kent in one side of the bracket and are playing those games in the afternoon. That would have been a no-brainer night session in past years.

The tip times aren't manipulated for TV, or attendance. (Shocker, right?). They are predetermined well before the last game of the season.

I swear they have flipped the times on the halves of the bracket in this kind of situation in the past. The past couple years have been skewed by the wonky tournament format not needing any afternoon games. All I know is in the 15 years I have followed this tourney, Akron and Kent have never both been stuck in afternoon quarterfinals when they could have been set up for a night doubleheader instead. This is refreshing.

Generally you're looking at 2:45 tipoff in the afternoon, 9:15 in the evening. Due to the foul-a-paloozas that we have called in the MAC we always seem to run long. The late session used to start at 7:00, but they finally got tired of starting the late games at damn near 10:00 and going past midnight.
