We play Miami.

We have the first game -- 8 a.m. PT (in case you need any more proof that we are the most-hated team in the conference).

What about the Kal Weenies?

they are in the second game that day at 10:30 am PT

What about the Kal Weenies?

and looking at the bracket for 2025 the schedule is the same for day 1 with

game 1 - #13 vs #12
game 2 - #15 vs #10
game 3 - #14 vs #11

While the games are in the same order in 2026, they have been moved 2 hours earlier than last year (11AM EST vs 1PM EST).
I don't know what reason/excuse there might be for that, but I do know which two teams it impacts the most.

At least one of those two teams had to schedule their final regular season game two hours earlier than in 2025 and reschedule their Senior celebration to before that game.   In 2025, Stanford had just 71.5 hours and 2700+ miles between games, resulting in #11 seed Stanford being upset by the #14 seed.  In 2026, wiith just 67 hours between one game and the next, of which about 5 hours would be spent on a plane, I am forced to believe that Stanford winning the first game is a long shot, no matter how well they play on the West Coast.
