It sounds to me like having Saturday games start at 7:00 pm is because of
travel considerations, since series are typically Friday/Saturday. Since there
is essentially no travel between Clarkson and SLU, there is no need for this
consideration. Looking at Clarkson's and SLU's schedules, all their other
Saturday games start a 7:00, so the late start is probably due to the fact
that there is not need to worry about travel between the two places.
 
I wonder what happens in other games between travel partners. Do they start
at 7PM or later?
 
Just wondering,
John
