Now, that is the round of 32 compared to the Sweet 16, so it's not an exact comparison.  But there are also days off between games for basketball, not for volleyball, which affects the schedule as well.

Louisville is the farthest-east host site and they drew the early time slot.  I think it's pretty much that simple.

 
His quote was not comparing NCAA Basketball...“I think it’s ridiculous,” Cook said on Monday during the Nebraska volleyball radio show. “Are they going to play the college football playoff at 10 in the morning? No. I don’t know. It makes it hard on our fans, people that work. I don’t know why they can’t figure this out to do half on one day and half on another day.”

I know.  He was comparing it to the National Championship football game.  But this isn't the National Championship.  Or the semi-finals in this quote.  Those are all played in the evening for volleyball as well.

I was point out that the proper comparison is to the NCAA basketball tournament where they are playing eight games in one day.  And those schedules are very similar.
