    Basketball time change for Saturday

    Email from Duke,

    "Duke has announced a time change for Saturday’s men’s basketball game at Cameron Indoor Stadium versus Charleston Southern. The game will now tip at 2 p.m. ET on ACC Network Extra.

    The game was originally slated for 8:30 p.m. ET."

    NC Governor Roy Cooper announced today he would be imposing a 10pm curfew effective this Friday, which applies to all nonessential activities. I suspect that was the reason for the change. It does make me wonder how this will affect scheduling moving forward - even a 7pm start time would push past the curfew for players and staff to get home.

    I have the feeling it had more to do with a conflict in the evening on the ACC Network.

    It’s North Carolina. Basketball is essential.

    I could argue that playing the games at night now makes more sense. Give fans something to watch during curfew. The players , coaches and refs won’t be more at risk during a night game
