When would we play next week? I assume that because BYU is in our bracket, it would have to be the Thursday/Saturday games, right?
Yes. Phoenix is a Thursday/Saturday region.
Haha first there was a "when do we play Saturday" thread. Now there is a "when do we play next week" thread.
I'm expecting a "what time is the Final Four game" thread.
any guesses on a time....i have a bad flight that day and will be in the air from 2:30 - 7:30pm EST...
This board is completely overlooking the first weekend. Now we're going to come out flat vs. BYU/Iona.

I already booked a hotel for Milwaukee next November to see us raise the banner.
Speaking of banners, anyone see CBS (I think it was them) interviewing Shaka Smart last night? Behind him was a banner that bragged about their #6 rank to end the season. Woof.

From experience, my game time drinking suffers if I even LOOK at the upcoming schedule. Gotta focus my liver one game at a time.

Not overlooking anything. But I work on Friday, March 23. I have off every other day of the tournament. So if there's the slightest chance I would be missing a game, I'd rather schedule to get the day off now than have to start looking for a trade partner on Sunday with less than a week before I need the trade.
I made trades to get off the entire Big East tournament back in January...does that mean I was overlooking the chance we might play on Tuesday or Wednesday?
Pretty amusing watching the usual suspects drawing their lines of demarcation before the NCAA starts. Either trying to provide cover for the team or raise expectations.
Justifications for meltdown/non-meltdowns already beginning.

Pretty sure he was joking.

Completely joking, BrewCity. Still getting my feet wet on the teal. :)

Fair enough...just been a bit testy in these waters the past week, and heard so much talk about "overlooking"...
If it helps...I did negotiate to get off for the Final Four weekend before I even investigated when we might be playing next weekend ;D

If you're not on the team, it's perfectly OK to overlook. I myself have made contingency plans for Nola already. Cancelling the reservation in St. Louis, however.
My middle son has FF reservations...love his confidence. Sure if they do not make it he and his lady can find something to do down there.

We're Number 6! We're Number 6!
With "we're" of course referring to "we were", as in "once upon a time, we were #6", not saying that we still are.
i believe one's fanhood has to be called into question if you fail to overlook and plan for the best. if i wasn't looking at getting an earlier flight because i was worried about the first weekend, and then i was unable to watch mu in the second round because of a lack of planning, i would be a sad excuse for a fan.
Assuming we don't crap out against BYU/Iona and get punished for it, are we going to raise a "Ranked Every Week 2011-2012 Season" banner?
