I'll be there. Don't usually go to bed until 12:00 midnight anyway. What is another hour?

Hopefully the guys are acclimated to the time change. I'm not, I'm gonna DVR it--and hopefully want to watch it.
If they win do they move up to the 9 PM (central) game? Bummer that they aren't in the early bracket.

WAS listed as 12:00am (midnight) Thursday EST on my CBS Sports app, so it showed up with tomorrow's games.

NOW the start time is listed as 11:59pm Wednesday EST, so I can watch it today.


Here is a link to the bracket, which should update after tonight's games:

Liberty won the early game in the other side of the bracket and is scheduled for the first game tomorrow. But for our side of the bracket, it currently shows 5pm or 7pm HST.

Maybe the most pointless thing I've ever heard, sending a college basketball team (and not a very good one) half way across the world during a pandemic to play a game at midnight on December 22-23 in front of what I suspect will be a very small crowd.

So... this is why they do college sports?

If it is so pointless, then go to bed and pretend it never happened.

Many families are out there: consider it a gift to the players who otherwise would be in Nashville: there are lots of people who would like a trip to Hawaii. Yes, this is why/how they celebrate Christmas.

Announcer at BYU-South Florida game …

… just said Hawaii will play the late game (early evening HST) regardless of the outcome in tonight’s game.

Since Vanderbilt WILL NOT be playing Hawaii, we get the earlier game tomorrow.

And how about CJS sporting a sharp polo shirt and slacks.
