MBB 2015: Hosting or Not?

[CajunT]

I think this move might be to allow the doubleheader to happen.

@Cajunbasketball will play Evansville at 7:30 central Thursday night in Blackham Coliseum._ Need all @ULRaginCajuns in attendance. #UL #CIT

I think Coach Marlin answered the question in his tweet. Sometimes certain media think they have to have the official decision this late at night.

I think the women still play in EK Long but move their game to 4 PM. I do not see a double header happening in Blackham, I hope I am wrong.

I agree with you MelRock. Remember, a double header wouldn't be the same as it was during the regular season. There would have to be separate admissions and with so much out of the ordinary at Blackham that might make it a cluster dance.

They might do it. But I don't think it's smart.

I think also with the success they've had, Coach Brodhead would rather play at EKL anyway.

We'll know soon enough.

I hate doubleheaders. I think the unpredictability of men's start times and the later starts keep more away from the men's game then it draws to the women's game.

I agree with this as well.

OK. Can someone please explain the 7:30 start time. Was this a CIT mandate or did the school just decide on 730.

@RaginCajunsWBB WBI Semifinal with Oral Roberts has just been announced a 6:00PM tip-off from Earl K. Long Gym.

I know the coaches do not like it, players sitting around too much and no where to practice before the men's game.

Any way it is a moo point now.

The 7:30 start time is probably to allow some folks to try to make both games, or at least a part of them.
