[QUOTE="Dan, post: 1610493, member: 1"] Re: BYU Every region has a Sunday game, because the second weekend (Saturday start) is not aligned with the first weekend (Friday start). [B]Fri-Mon First Weekend[/B] Fri,Sun - Midwest, South Sat,Mon - East, West [B]Sat-Tue Second Weekend[/B] Sat,Mon - Midwest, South Sun,Tue - East, West The Selection Committee did their job placing BYU in the East (no Sunday games this weekend). The issue is about why did the NCAA & TV partners have a mis-aligned first & second weekend? Why do the 2 weekends start on different days of the week? And after they settled on this schedule why didn't they flip the second weekend's regional schedules? So now, if BYU advances to the Sweet 16 the NCAA will flip the East & Midwest second weekend schedules. If BYU beats UCLA tonight, it sends the Midwest Region into a holding pattern as they'll have to wait for BYU's Monday result- * The Sunday Midwest Region winners will have to wait until Monday night before they know the date of their Sweet 16 games. * The Sunday Midwest Region winners could potentially have an unprecedented full week (Sunday-Sunday) between Round of 32-Sweet 16 games. Fun stuff 😄 [/QUOTE]
