It looks like they adjusted all the broadcast windows a bit. Wisconsin Regional is starting at 330p ET instead of 3p and the Stanford Regional is 8p ET instead of 7p.
The second ESPN2 game for Marquette vs Texas is showing as 2:30p ET (originally was 2p) on the NCAA app.
Expecting a 90m match at this point and 30m warmup for the second one is just not realistic.

Rip Nebraska, how will they perform so early without pre-game Starbucks? Hoping for the best though.

Must be adjusted again. Now showing Marquette-Texas as 30 min after the first match, which makes sense. The problem is that they’ve got 4.5 hours to squeeze in 2 matches on ESPU, and there’s no constraint on when Texas finishes. There’s no pushing anything back on ESPN2, except for boring talking heads sports shows. I don’t understand why they didn’t put the Madison Regional on ESPNU and the Stanford Regional on ESPN2. Now they’re putting all 4 of the remaining matches on one channel, and pushing to get the Madison regionals done in 3.5 hours to hit the start time for the Stanford regional. If they’d put one regional on ESPN2 and the other on ESPNU, there would be no issue, and the 7:00 PM start time could be hit without issue. |

Why can't it go two regionals thursday - saturday and two regionals friday - sunday.. The ESPN world is not ready yet I guess. Oh well, at least I can catch some games live from the EU.

If you’re Oregon do you have 7am practices all week long? I think so. Or at least Tuesday & Wednesday. I wonder what day they’ll travel? Maybe they can get in a 7 am practice on travel day and then a light walk-through practice once they get there. (So, Tuesday AM practice here, then travel, then Tuesday PM practice in Louisville), then a full 10 am practice on Wednesday in Louisville. |

Rant #2:
B1G is the best VB conference. B1G Network seems to do the best network coverage of the sport.
NCAA should give tournament broadcast rights to the B1G Network.
I realize a lot of VT posters are pleased with ESPN having the tournament rights, start to finish. But I don't see it as anything special. And how they've coordinated with the NCAA to schedule these tournament matches is a disservice to the average fan. Sure, some of us hardcore VTers will be glued to the TV on Thursday. But if a goal is to grow the sport, I don't see how forcing Oregon fans, for example, to watch an 8 a.m. Thursday broadcast makes any sense.
And cramming all these matches into one day is criminal.
VB deserves better.

Folks really need to be grateful that all matches are on ESPNU and ESPN2, and can also be streamed. That's quite a bit of progress from like 2-3 years ago when some matches were streaming only.
