HTF does Kansas get scheduled one of the last tip groupings of the day on Thursday, when they play a F4 winner 16-seed??
Who - aside from KU fans - wants to end the first full day with a 'woof-er' of a game like that?? I know there will be 3 other games on, as well, but 1/16 & 2/15 match-ups should always be early on Thur & Fri in the first round, imo, as they have the least chance for providing any real drama or watchability for anyone not fans of the teams playing.
I'll be honest, I always hope for the Hawks to be one of the last tips on 1st Round Friday, because should the worst happen - a loss in their first game - I at least got to watch all of the Round of 64 while still feeling the full excitement for March Madness.
(a lot of my excitement for the Dance dims when Iowa bows out - so here's hoping Iowa doesn't decide they've had enough until they are cutting down the nets on 4/4 this year!!)
