I liked at least our games usually being Thu/Sat better. I also think that it better prepared us for the tourney schedule of Thu/Sat or Fri/Sun.
I also think that the B1G schedules not having the 2 game travel partner swings has made the travel schedule tougher that it needs to be while also detracting a bit from the anticipation of both our games and the rest of the conference.
An example of the former -the Michigan game being a huge advantage for them being in LA for almost a week while we were out on the East Coast for games
A related example of the latter - the Michigan trip to LA not also including, say, Michigan St as a travel partner. Conversely, the anticipation when our main competition in the Pac was making the Mountain trip and anticipating a possible loss for Arizona at one of those schools.
Having conference games almost every day of the week is interesting, but it actually detracts from the anticipation of those games to me.
