C-USA 15 team basketball tournament format. Top 4 get double byes.
The C-USA website shows 3 games on Tuesday, March 11. That would be the bottom 6 teams.

Wednesday has 4 games, so the 3 winners from Tuesday plus 5 schools that received a first round bye.

Thursday has 4 games, so the 4 winners from Wednesday plus 4 top schools that received both 1st and 2nd round byes. Being in the top 4 spots in the regular season is very important this year, more so than usual. That's a total of 15 teams since FIU is not eligible for post season.

Friday the 2 semi-final games.

Saturday at 9:30am is the championship game. That's 9:30am MT. God awful hour to be on CBS.

Yep and good thing the semi-finals will be Friday afternoon and not night. A little more rest before the champ game.

That's 12:30 EDT. I'm pretty sure that's when it always is regardless of location.

11:30 am EST tip-off.

That has been the standard time since the contract was signed.

Not that Tulane has had to worry about it. 03-weeping

FIFM. I was wrong anyway though. Last year in Memphis the game was at 10:35 CT, or 11:35 ET.

I'd rather be on Fox Sports 2 in the afternoon/evening than on CBS at 9am... but that's just me.

I can understand both points of view, but ultimately I agree with this.^^

Anyone know why FIU is ineligible for the conference tournament?

I feel this is the way this was done back when Charlotte when in the conference, except the semi's were played at 7:00 and 9:30 pm Friday.
I ask ways felt like that was a big advantage to the #1 seed and that side of the bracket (which is the way it should be).

That is 11:30am EST & 10:30 am CST. Been like this forever and yes it does suck. But at least the game is still being shown on a national network.
