Good to hear.Bruce Beck just gave the ladies a shout out on his sports report, thanks Bruce.
After 32 years of living and working in Middlesex County NJ and being a season ticket holder for RU women's basketball, I retired to California. Hence my time zone confusion and knowledge about Cal Baptist, UCSB, UCDavis, etc.TAWRU, not to be nosey, but what part of the country are you living in now?
Yeah, I'm a bit conflicted if it comes to it. Can't they both win?After 32 years of living and working in Middlesex County NJ and being a season ticket holder for RU women's basketball, I retired to California. Hence my time zone confusion and knowledge about Cal Baptist, UCSB, UCDavis, etc.
By the way, I could hear the anguish all of the way from Arizona (Knight Time Fan) on the bracket placement of RU, with Arizona as potential second round opponent for RU.
BYU has its own channel out here and I have seen the BYU team play a couple of times. They look better than UCSB.
Do they now play on Sundays? I suspect that they might have to play on a Sunday at some point.BYU's channel is an ESPN deal that was struck after BYU left the Mountain West to go it alone as a football independent. I don't know that they could have survived independence without the ESPN TV money since they've had to cobble together their schedules each year. They dropped "down" into the WCC for basketball. The WCC is not a bad conference - it has Gonzaga after all - and St. Mary's has had some good men's teams lately. But it aligns the first or second largest private university in the US with a bunch of (mostly) small Catholic colleges that have rather different missions than BYU.
Because of its refusal to play on Sundays, BYU wasn't able to join the Big 12 and institutionally, as a rather right-wing university, it isn't a good fit with the Pac12 schools. So it is kind of stuck in a sports vacuum, not really belonging anywhere.
No, BYU will never play on a Sunday.Do they now play on Sundays? I suspect that the second round will be on Sunday.
The NCAA has always placed them in a non-Sunday game. In softball, their sub-regional (often at a PAC school in the northwest) would run Thursday to Saturday, while all the others ran Friday through Sunday. I don't think they have ever put an event like the Women's College World Series to the test. I've always wondered what would happen.Do they now play on Sundays?

BYU channel has been around since 2000 and broadcasts regular programming, as well as BYU sports. The deal with ESPN is separate, and allows one live BYU football game on the BYU channel and also allows the channel to broadcast ESPN reruns of BYU football.BYU's channel is an ESPN deal that was struck after BYU left the Mountain West to go it alone as a football independent.
