Thanks, StanfordMatt. That makes sense from a body-clock perspective. Otherwise, the team would have landed early morning Pacific time on Tuesday and flown to the Eastern Time Zone on Wednesday. That's just brutal.
Speaking of brutal, is the Monday-Friday turnaround typical for the women's round of 32/sweet 16? Friday doesn't avoid conflicts with the men, so it makes more sense to just play the sweet 16/elite 8 games Saturday-Tuesday like the first two rounds.
In any case, I really admire the Stanford student-athletes who are taking finals as they pursue championships on behalf of my alma mater!

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
