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

From UL: Thursday night's CIT bball game vs. Evansville will start at 7:30 p.m. (central), not 7 p.m. as earlier announced was possible.

On top of this ____ tonight....

From UL: Still no word yet on whether it will be a men's CIT/women's WBI bball doubleheader at Blackham on Thursday night.

[CajunDreDog]

I'm predicting a 5:00PM tipoff for the women in Blackham. Just my .02

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.
