[JeremyThePoolMan]

Im definitely not trying to get ahead of myself but Im trying to be proactive on plans with my family saturday and I can't find the time to our possible 2nd round game. If anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and Go Boilers

They aren't announced until after all the Thursday games are complete. They base the next games on a couple factors, including TV and also a west coast team will likely not play at noon ET. So depends who advances and what not. In year's past, there's been more west coast first round sites and there's only one this year, so really the Milwaukee second round games can be anytime between 1 pm ET and 10 pm ET.

They won't announce it until after the Thursday games so they can set up the best TV pairings. It could be anywhere from a 1PM to a 10PM start.

Times not set until after the first round games are played is my understanding.

It will be one of these (Buffalo, Orlando, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City):

If I were to guess, I'd say Buffalo or Orlando would be the 12:00/2:30 pair, and 7:00/9:30 would be the Salt Lake City pair.....that would leave Milwaukee and Buffalo/Orlando as the 5:00/7:30 pair and the 6:00/8:30 pair (Eastern Daylight times). If Purdue advanced it could be either of the two times for Milwaukee.

Lots of TBAs there! ha

Yes, that would make sense....but there's a variety of factors involved.

Two years ago, #1 seed Arizona played Ohio State and Georgetown played Utah in Portland - and the games were at 5:15 pm ET and 7:45 pm ET, so not the final slots.

Butler vs. Notre Dame in Pittsburgh was the 9:30 pm slot.

So it's literally a crap shoot!
