Schedule for Midwest Regionals

Submitted by BlueInDallas on

I've searched online for a schedule for the Midwest Regional games, but can't find anything yet.  Does anyone know whether we are the first or second game on Friday and what times those games will be?  Also, any idea what time the game will be on Sunday (if we are fortunate enough to make it)? 

Go Blue!

I would venture to say that Michigan V Tenn or Mercer will be the early game, while Louisville V Kentucky or Wichita State will be the late game.  That could be on of the marquee games of the weekend.

Now, if it was Mich V Duke, that would have been a different story.

The marquee game in one region will be first; the marquee game in the other region will be second, and they'll stagger the games a bit, starting the early-marquee region before the late-marquee region.

If North Carolina wins today they might choose that; otherwise they'll probably choose MSU/whoever over UConn/Iowa State. I'm guessing they'll have that be the early marquee and UL/UK the later.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet...

LINK - this is the NCAA website's interactive bracket, which should update with networks and times for the next round as soon as they are known. This is what I have been using to keep track of when the games are on anyway, and it does have the scores in case anyone has missed a game here and there.

my guess is that they will have msu and our games at opposite times. if it's msu/Virginia, I bet they get they get the 7 pm slot and we play the late game

Here is the question, how much do they care about Michigan and Michigan state not playing at the same time. Probably the two "biggest" games will be msu v. Virginia and Lville v. UK. If they go late with Lville v. UK, they either have to put M v. MSU against each other in the 7 timeslot or put the two biggest games if the night against each other in the 9 slot. My guess is that Michigan and MSU will probably both play in the early timeslot.

One nice thing about sharing a regional with Louisville, Kentucky and Tennessee: no matter who the opponent might be, there'll be a lot of people in the stands that hate them.

The whole Commonwealth of Kentucky will be in Indy. Sucks for local fans like me who are just trying to see Michigan without taking out a second mortgage.

This morning, the cheapest ticket on Stubhub was around $98. Just checked right now, and cheapest ticket jumped to $143. Anyone have any guesses what a ticket on the street would cost?

I would think regardless of who Michigan plays, everyone will be pulling for the underdog vs Mercer/Tennessee.  I'm planning on heading over if Michigan makes the round of 8.  That should be a much cheaper ticket on the secondary market.

I actually don't think there will be many, if any, empty seats at Lucas Oil this year. First factor, UK/UL will be a crazy draw for those fan bases. Secondly, they aren't using the whole stadium like Dallas or the Georgia Dome, they are only using one half of the stands and curtaining off the rest of the stadium.

Very well could.  One less thing our guys have to adapt to.  Sighlines at some of these places are goofy (think big domes).  We know this places pretty well, 3 games worth.  Again, a place they really don't have to acclimate to, too much.

I snuck in with 2 tickets on Ticketmaster before the UK game went final.  I hope we are the second game so I can move up to a better seat.  I can't imagine the bitter fans of the losing team will want to stick around for our game when they can just drive home or go drown their sorrows elsewhere.  Also, the secondary market for Sunday will be fantastic if we win Friday.  Just catch the losing fans on their way out and ask nicely to buy their Sunday tickets.  That worked well last year when I bought floor seats for the Florida game from Kansas fans.

Is there only one ticket for Fridays games? Meaning if someone walks out of the stadium after the first game, can you get back in with their ticket? Most sporting events, once you leave you can't back in, correct? I could be wrong.
