This shouldn't be allowed IMO and people will complain.
It does get Paintsville in the gym one day earlier though.
I think half the playoff games should be on Friday and half on Saturday though...West Virginia did this, don't know if they still do...gives the fans 2 games to go to on the weekend...
But when everyone doesn't play on the same night, someone gets a scouting advantage and hence the complaints are sure to come....

JP, I normally agree with ya, but have to disagree here. At this stage of the playoffs, with the exception of VERY rare long distance trips (usually get further apart the deeper you go in the playoff), if teams play on different nights, no advantage is gained in terms of scouting. Example: Pikeville and Paintsville play next Thursday. If Raceland, Harlan, etc want to come and scout Pikeville, they don't even play until Friday, so no time is lost in terms of prep, since Thursdays are usually walk thru days for Friday anyway. Then, whichever team wins, (most likely Pikeville) can then go and scout their other potential opponents the following night. So no advantage or disadvantage to either team in that regards. Now, to bring up the point of an extra day of rest compared to the team who plays on Friday, there may be SOME merit, but I would argue it is really kind of a moot point, since as I mentioned, Thursdays are typically very light anyway, but then again, the team playing on Thursday has a short week since they typically also played on the Friday before, so it offsets.
