While I understand where you are coming from I'm pretty sure they have the schedule this way due to all the NCAA conference tournaments going on right now..
The NBA for a long time has used the NCAA as kinda like a minor league feeding system and they know the conference and big tournament's can and has helped create the hype for up and coming talent that is about to enter the NBA. So the league isn't trying to compete with the NCAA because it's kind of against their future interests not too mention NCAA conference and the big tournament has great viewership.
Exactly. And when the tournament begins, there won’t be the usual TNT Tuesday and Thursday night games for a few weeks
