According to cyclones.com there doesn't appear to be TV coverage for this game. Is there any chance the big 10 network will pick this game up?

The two games in Vegas are not currently scheduled for TV (the only ones, BTW). The BTN wouldn't pick that one up because it's at a neutral site way outside their area.

big 10 network sucks, but i am sure there is a CHANCE they pick it up, unless they are covering big 10 women's volleyball instead. :rolleyes:

Thats funny!! Has anyone caught Big Ten Friday Night Tailgate yet?? Dumbest program ever!! O, and I saw they were airing college golf the other nite 2... Seems like its a waste of a channel to me:biglaugh:

I was on the Purdue athletic site awhile back and I'm pretty sure said the game would be available online.

Its way out of their area, yet they will broadcast a frickin bunch of crap that nobody watches? I can watch 2 teams I have never heard of in Puerto Rico, but Las Vegas is too much to handle. There are a lot of good teams in that Tourney. Don't we have a chance to play Alabama in Game two?

Oh Well.....Maybe I can watch High school Basketball on ESPN U or watch 14 hours of Dorks playing Cards on Fox Sports/Espn.

I don't think its a waste of a channel at all. I would love for there to be a big 12 network. Doesn't matter who the hawks play the games are always on tv, and in HD. And a lot of our games aren't even on tv in the first place, let alone in HD.

Basically, Drake TV = just KDSM.

Because the PR tournament was an ESPN "family" production, that means the LV tournament should also be televised just because?

The very real possibility that BTN may not even broadcast a LIVE wrestling event this season (in a conference that has the defending national champs and another formerly-perennial power) should tell you about their production value.

The Minnesota game is on Mediacom and the Purdue game is not televised? How do 2 games between a big 12 team and a big 10 team not get televised on a decent channel?

My understanding is that the tournament, not the Big 12, Big 10, or Purdue or Iowa State, own the cable broadcast rights to all games in the tourney.

So the Vegas tournament officials need to make the decision on this one.

I'd be mighty surprised to see it televised. Unless it's televised nationally, tournament games like this aren't typically broadcast.
