“Our guys I think have learned how to adapt to that quickly,” Barnes said of the postseason schedule, via On3. “But we’ll get busy with it (Tuesday) again.

We were flying through the selection show, then we turn around and we get put in an early afternoon game. But that’s the way it is.

“And that’s why I wish as a league, we’d look at moving our tournament to Saturday, which will be hard to do because it’s been brought up so many times. But I think everybody in our league – I know the coaches certainly would like it to be that way.”
