"I hate sunday (bb) games." I gotta agree with this. Do you like or dislike Sunday games?

Agreed.

I would almost think that maybe Saturday games would be better attended as well..

Part of it's what I grew up being used to. Hawkeye hoops was almost always Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then a Saturday game. Sunday games just feel weird to me. Only exceptions I can think of in the good ole days was if Iowa was on a CBS game on Sunday. Like the Fab 5 game after Chris Street's death I believe was Sunday afternoon.
 
I remember when Iowa played Michigan on Super Bowl Sunday on CBS.I thought that was great exposure for our program.
 
I am not by any means the biggest fan of Sunday BB games, however, I prefer this to not seeing the Hawks on T.V. Without introducing BTN overflow channels for BB this is our world.

I am not eagerly awaiting the screw job that BTN will do to us in the Nov-Dec timeframe!
 
I also hate the Sunday thing... and it wouldn't be as bad if they didn't play til 5:00 or 6:00pm on Sundays. I wish they would be at like at noon, then I can just watch football the rest of the afternoon. But why not just play on Saturday more?
 
Agreed Sundays are the worst. I seem to remember in the past playing just about every saturday, especially in conference play. Don't ever remember a year with more Sunday games (5) than saturday games (4) during conference play.
 
Sunday bb games reminds me of Indiana. They've always played on Sundays, seems like. And I don't like being reminded of those candy-striped candy *****.

This. Sunday games vs. increased chance of not seeing Iowa on TV because all B1G conference and non-conference games will be bunched up on Saturday, I'll take Sunday games every time.
 
I don't believe it was a Sunday, but I do remember playing Arizona State Tim Dwight's last game in a bowl while an Iowa/Indiana basketball game was coming up. We were in Heaven. Other than the fact that the Sun Devils beat us badly......

We did beat Indiana.....

I think I remember that. A Hawkeye bowl game and a Big Ten hoops conference game in the same day? What can be better?

Agree absolutely with those who say that a Sunday game on the BTN is far better than no TV at all, so I don't really complain. I still just prefer Saturday hoops though (unless it's the NCAA Tournament, then Sunday games are all good).
