Iup basketball

The announcers Tuesday night said the starting times were TBA. I think it largely depended on who won the quarterfinals. If Chico State had won, they probably would have set it up to accommodate viewers in the Pacific time zone.

Joe said they are playing the role of David tonight. Augusta is playing the part of Goliath.

It's going to be a war. IUP's stars have to be stars tonight.

That said, for IUP to win, the role players have to score points tonight -- Polce, Dallis, Demo. Hopefully, Demo got that bad game out of his system. They need the version of him who played in the Regional.

David is going to get a lot of attention. However, after Tuesday, Tomiwa Sulaiman is also going to draw a lot of attention. That could open some things up.

I could see IUP being a slight dog in Vegas. However, it wouldn't surprise me if they are a 1-2 point favorite, either. One real good team is packing it in tonight.

It was for sure 11am CDT last year. Still archived in NW stories on the athletics site.

Last year it was noon eastern. The Final Four games were at 7 and 9:45.

I recall covering the Men's Elite Eight in Frisco back in 2016. Lincoln Memorial struggled from the foul line throughout the entire tournament, and it came back to bite them in the finals against Augustana. Let's hope that IUP doesn't fall into that same rut.

Yeah, it seems like there have been a lot of changes to the schedule this year. Moving from Wednesday-Thursday- Saturday to Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday. They also moved the championship game on Saturday back a few hours (that may be a CBS thing though). I don't recall semifinal times from last year but for some reason I was thinking those were evening games for both.

The games are probably a little earlier since the teams had a day of rest in between and since the final is in the afternoon on Saturday. The women's (M / W / F schedule) final is on Friday night.

I don't think that's accurate. NW had info out on Monday that the semifinal game would start at 3pm (CDT) if they advanced.
