Agreed. What was the reason they gave for changing it?

Covids. Apparently 3 days of testing isn't enough. They need 5.

Not sure what they said, but the real reason is most likely eyeballs on TV sets.

Covid.

The Final Four will still be on a Saturday, and the National Championship game will still be on a Monday.

Gotcha. I thought it was to make Mondays a little less drab. That would be more understandable honestly.

If they were smart they would've wanted to play as quickly as possible. Delaying these 8 and 4 games just allows for something crazy to happen.

Having 2nd round games on Monday was pretty cool

Seems like it would’ve been feasible to return to the regular timeline this week though. Kids just sitting around their hotel for 6 days waiting to play with minimal activity is tough.

Hopefully they'll keep mixing the days up.

Anything to throw off Pio.

My kids school will play it in the cafeteria on the big screen during lunch and any students that have study halls are allowed to go watch - but only if a school from our state is playing.

I think it ought to stay this way in normal years. Thursday’s Fridays Sweet 16 probably doesn’t get good ratings

I honestly didn’t think about that. Wow. Oh, I know why, we are in the Final-4.
