Here is the schedule for the games the Memphis Tigers will play in the Conference USA tournament this weekend (all times Central Daylight Time):
- Quarterfinals: Thursday, 6 PM
- Semifinals: Friday, 5:30 PM
- Finals: Saturday, 10:35 AM
And here we go again with the same problem we have every year: Because we play in such a lousy conference, we get a lousy start time for the championship game – 10:35 AM, a problem for those of us who like to go to bars to watch the Tigers on TV. Most bars don’t open until 11. So it’s time to ask the question, who’s opening early Saturday for the Tiger game? Usually it’s not hard to convince bars in the Downtown core to do it, since the tournament is at the FedExForum and they get quite a bit of business before and after the games.
Undecided where to watch Saturday’s game… will figure it out once I see who’s open. Will probably watch Thursday’s game at the Saucer since the Dempseys play there later in the evening. Undecided about Friday too.
Post about Orleans on Front’s crawfish boil will be up around 1 PM.
