Thinking back to opening night, why wouldn't the league schedule the Seattle/Philly game for Wednesday night instead of Thursday night so they wouldn't have to compete directly with the NCAA men's hoops tournament?

I wasn't going to watch any game in any sport that started that late when I had work the next day.
