on the men's side.

What's your excuse for starting 4 games simultaneously?

But then they can't whip everyone around? Where's the fun in that? Wink

I'm trying to just remain grateful for any coverage.
And hoping that watch espn works. If it works, I'll be ok. If not, I'll be ranting. But ranting won't really help anyway.

btw: I agree. The staggered coverage in the past at least gave us a glimpse of something other than the #1 and #2 seeds ahead by 30 at halftime.

Something I've been thinking about is if the NCAA could schedule a range of games during each time slot. I noticed that 3 of the #2 women's seeds will be playing at the same time. That's also putting 3 of the 7-10 games at the same time.

Why can't they do something like this for the first round?

Early Games 12:00 & 5:00
1-16
3-14
5-12
7-10

Late Games 2:30 & 7:30

8-9
6-11
4-13
2-15

Maybe not this exactly, but spread the seeds around so that there is a better chance of not having 3 games to chose from that are more likely to be blow-outs and then having to chose from 3 games that are more likely to be close.

Poor ESPN couldn't figure out which blowout to whip to

Is it just me or does the first session always feature at least three lopsided games?

You espn morons can't stagger the start times more than 10 minutes?
