Game ends at 3, NFL playoffs start at 4:30 - Great day
Yeah my assumption is that it's similar to what Fox Sports used to do with "ACC Sunday Night Hoops".
Sunday night is a great time for a game if you're watching on TV (road games, etc.). If you're going to the game not so great for most. If you don't live in the city you're commuting in and out late at the end of the weekend. Not good for the many making that same commute 10 hours later on Monday morning, and not particularly ideal for bringing kids. The same fans that always show up are going to show up no matter what, but in terms of generating additinoal buzz/interest/attendance (marginal fans, non-fans, etc.) it's much easier to get that crowd after work or weekend day.
Looking at the schedule more closely though it looks like it's only Georgetown (day before a Holiday as you mention) and Creighton that are Sunday night. If both teams are good that Creighton game could draw a decent crowd. Despite the time probably has less ghost town potential than the Sunday 3/2 game at noon against DePaul. Outside of those two the matchups and timing create the potential for some good Garden crowds if we are performing as we hope.

Awesome! But find the fact that we are the only one hard to believe. What platform will our exhibitions be on?
I think it has to do with the fact that we broadcast our own exhibition games a lot of times. If u remember from last year they made a big deal about sju tv.
They have their own production equipment now. So they can produce the game and just send the feed to espn3, sny, or now foxsports.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I remember from last year.

Your right about our own sju tv, jus surprised no other team has one as well. It would be cool if even our exhibition games were picked up on tv this year and not just online.
