Wisconsin is going to have some issues playing both Penn State and potentially Purdue a 3rd time.

@Mavric you overlooked Missouri, so of the 4 (Missouri, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky) if we make the final 4 we will have to likely play 3 of them. 

 

We'll only have to play two.  Beat the first one handily.  And, by one ranking, we only have the #7, #11 and #15 teams left in the tournament still in our region.  That's pretty managable.

The #1 ranked team playing at 1:00pm on a Thursday.

Everyone plays on Thursday, so no avoiding that part.

 

I did think it was a little odd that we're playing the first game of the set.  My guess is that lets us be on ESPN2 as opposed to ESPNU, so I suppose that's better.

 

There are two other ESPN2 timeslots.  Penn St. v Wisconsin at 7:00 EST and Tennessee v Texas at 9:00.  Perhaps those are seen as better TV draws because they are more even match-ups vs our game probably expected to be one-sided?
