ive gone back and forth on this 'dilemma' for years.
after decades of research, ive concluded that the best way to maximize both your enjoyment and time...is to be the varsity matchup of either session.
either one works, but you will have to adjust your mindset and 'intake'.
no matter who is playing, the noon tip always feels like the Thursday of an east coast US Open golf match.
wait, what??!! tigger is through 13 and Phil is through 9?? some schmuck finished -10?? gtown-nova is at the half?? wake is beating unc by 13??
slow down here, wait a second...im only on my 3rd beer.
and if Cuse is playing in it...once it ends its like...now what??
with a 2 (230) start, you have the afternoon, then your game...then the evening to party. always a good time.
the 7pmers are always too rushed. the afternoon crowd empties into the bars. the commuters are all over the place. people choose to work the day and now theyre running in sober, all annoyed at the crowd. then you leave a good time at the bar and cheap beers to go inside and pay 4x the amount for 1/2 the booze. likely having missed 8minutes of game time by the time you sit down.
the 9 (930) speak for themselves as youve then had a full day filled with fun, booze, hoop, anticipation and excitement...and if you are home watching...of course you want the late.
I am hoping we're slotted for 7 in DC. Afternoon games you still get client calls and emails 5 beers in. The late tip makes for an early and painful morning at the kiddie carpool line.
