Russo’s frustration with the NCAA Tournament scheduling is the fact that some Sweet 16 games start after 10 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday. 

Illinois vs. Iowa State and Creighton vs. Tennessee are both tipping off at 10:09 p.m. on Friday.

"College basketball’s not big enough to go 12 consecutive hours, and have two-and-a-half-hour games, because they’re looking at a replay with flagrant fouls, or if the ball was slapped out of bounds by somebody," Russo said.

Russo even suggested that they will "add a half hour" because the games don’t start on time.

"Friday is Good Friday!" Russo said, animated. "Holy Thursday on Thursday! And I’ve gotta stay up until 1:45 in the morning to watch a two-hour-and-45-minute game?
