Purdue win and Hurley to Kentucky is what I want.

This is the sports betting equivalent of the people who shorted the 2007 mortgage bond market.

Hope Purdue wins. Expecting UConn to win big.

At least Duke isn't in this game.

I dunno, at least the Knicks are making the playoffs.

Agree with point 1 and 2. On point 3, I'm a Celtics fan, but I'm happy for you I guess.

 

[CuseTG2003]

I'm very conflicted and bet others are too. I hate the B1G and UConn in equal measure.

Same. And there's no NBA to even watch on the schedule to distract me. Think I might have to do chores or something

I didn’t realize the NBA was not playing tonight, do they do this normally on Championship night or is this something new?

Not sure. They prob have always done it and I haven’t noticed since I usually watch champ game.

After a little research it seems they have been doing this since 2018 except for one of the Covid years.

 

[MikeSU02]

Also forgot how late the game starts (for me at least).

Ugh. I’m going to hate watch this and be exhausted.

 

[Owens guy]

If UConn is ahead I will have about zero interest to keep watching the game.

If Purdue keeps it close or is ahead I will keep watching and really pull for them.

Otherwise I'll probably just watch baseball tonight. I was more interested in the women's Final 4 than the Men's this year. I didn't think I've ever say that.

Twitter was going crazy w complaints about the 9:20 ET start time. That is ridiculous compared to other sports.

I'm not sure if there will be that many that are conflicted here. Perhaps I am wrong.

As a group / organization the BIG might be hated, but I still think there is a a likeability / unlikeability factor for each individual school and Purdue seems to pass in that regard.

Fair. I'm leaning towards rooting for UConn. I want the B1G's title drought to continue.

That's interesting because just off the top of my head, I feel like the NBA Finals, World Series, Stanley Cup playoff games, college football natty, etc. all end around 11-11:30 pm. The only one that ends a little earlier than that is the Super Bowl.

TV caters to the west coast which doesn't even have a major college conference anymore, go figure

College Hoops Fans Rightfully Upset Over Late Start Time for UConn-Purdue National Title Game

The 9:20 p.m. ET start time for the men’s college basketball national championship game continues to be the worst.

They are trying to buy the west coasters a bit of extra time.

I agree that it may start late, but college basketball games are short compared to every other sport. I don't think CBB title games end later than most other major sports besides the Super Bowl.

Hasn't the national title tip-off been at 9:20 for a very long time? (give or take a few minutes).

Seem to remember a year or so they might have had it at 8:20 but that's about it.

My parents were cool for letting me at 10 yrs old to stay up and watch the 1987 title game.
