@Mike H, I am not for certain. The best site I could find that has something of a schedule is StubHub: 2009 Midwest Regional It says there that the Friday session starts at 7:10. I would imagine that since it is a weekday both games will be at night. And if memory serves me correctly from the past, the regional semi-final games on Thursday and Friday are at night. You may want to double, triple check, but I would bet the games start in the evening.

Going to the Midwest Regional. Will they do both Friday games in the evening or one in the afternoon? Can’t remember and definitely don’t want to be late. Thanks!

@Bill, great point. I didn’t even think about that. Plus, NDSU will have Gus Johnson on their side, screaming like a mad man the entire second half if they keep it close. It’s all almost too good to be true!

One thing you didn’t note (but it backs up your prediction):

The Metrodome will be a hostile environment for the Jayhawks.

I was at a Gopher football game 2 seasons ago where NDSU played the Gophers (and won). The NDSU contingent was larger, noisier, and way more exicted than the Gopher fans. COund be crazy…

@Quinn, the best I've been able to find is this StubHub page that lists times: Midwest Regional Game Times from StubHub I'll update this page as soon as I get more concrete times.

Anyone know an approximate tip off time for the sweet 16 games in Indy?

@KVB, I wish Gus Johnson could announce every game of the tournament. They should just draw it out and have only four games per day and then he can fly from city to city announcing each game. It would make the greatest sports event longer and everyone could enjoy the incredible work of Gus.

Then for a week, I’d like for him to provide play-by-play on my daily life. I might not have any Ron-Lewis-Who’s-Been-Awesome moments, but he’d at least make it sound exciting.

That’s all the info I needed about the bracket! This is helpful, though I really wanted to see Gus Johnson doing the Buckeyes but I love Raftery. I wonder how he will call the opening of the game defense? “Ohio State in the MATCHUPZONE!”

@Abi Bartley, thanks for the visit Abi. Was there anything specific you were looking for and didn’t find? Perhaps I can point you in a specific direction.
