When the Sweet Sixteen game times were announced, much consternation was felt throughout the Virginia Cavaliers’ fanbase.
Yes, the Hoos were given the latest tip on Thursday. Even though there are two games taking place on the West Coast in the Pacific time zone and UVa is playing in Louisville, which is still in the Eastern time zone, UVa got the latest tip; scheduled for basically 10:00 PM.
Virginia being the No. 1 seed in the region, many were expecting that the tip-time-setters should have rewarded the Hoos with the 7:00 PM tip, although some understood since UVa is playing the Oregon Ducks, having a later tip time would allow more Oregon fans to watch.
