MAC Release

CLEVELAND -- The Ohio men's basketball team's March 3 'Battle of the Bricks' showdown against Mid-American Conference East Division archrival Miami has been picked up by CBS Sports Network and will now tip-off at 6:30 p.m. ET from the Convocation Center, as announced by the league office on Wednesday (Feb. 22).

The Senior Day showdown and 2016-17 regular season finale, which was originally scheduled for a 7 p.m. ET tip from the Convo, has been selected as a MAC wildcard game. The Bobcats will be making their fourth appearance of the 2016-17 season on CBS Sports Network.

In the first meeting of the season between the Bobcats and the RedHawks, freshman forward Jason Carter (Johnstown, Ohio) produced his fourth double-double with a career-high 25 points to go along with a game-high 11 rebounds as Ohio topped Miami, 79-62, on Tuesday (Feb. 21) at Millett Hall.

The Bobcats (18-8, 10-5 MAC) has won five of their last six games -- including four in a row.

Ohio plays its final road game of the 2016-17 regular season on Saturday (Feb. 25), visiting MAC East Division rival Kent State (16-12, 8-7 MAC). The contest is slated to get underway at 7 p.m. ET at the M.AC. Center. The game will be televised regionally on Spectrum Sports and Buckeye Cable Sports Network and will also be broadcast on ESPN3 and streamed nationally on the WatchESPN app.

Kent State knocked off MAC East Division rival Buffalo, 77-69, on Tuesday in Amherst, N.Y., which allowed Ohio to take over sole possession of second place in the overall league standings with three games to play.

In the first meeting of the season between the Bobcats and the Golden Flashes, Ohio dominated Kent State, 85-67, on Jan. 6 in a nationally televised matchup on ESPNU at the Convocation Center in Athens.

3 things
First off - this should be a Saturday game.
B - if it's got to be moved - why can't Ohio get a 8pm or 8:30 start?
lastly - Miami sucks

I'm not complaining, I'm simply stating that this is killing my attendance this season. I'll probably still make this one but can't swing the Buffalo game.

Ohio on CBS sports twice next week is nice. I get the grumbling over early starts. But glad I can get to watch.

Agree. If they were changing the day or moving it from night to day/day to night I can see the issue. Moving it up 30 minutes for national TV is a no brainer and hopefully will only inconvenience a few folks who were pressing to make a 7:00 tip.

The whole league plays the last Friday of the season in order to travel for Monday tournament games at home sites.

Been that way for years. No surprises for those who lament much and long for predictable nights. Last Friday before tourney is a given.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

With this addition it marks the 6th time Ohio's played on a national network this regular season 4x CBS Sports, 1x ESPNU, 1x Fox College Sports which I'd bet is a record. I think its only going to get better as Saul upgrades the program.

Luckily this CBS TV deal gives Ohio a chance to be on TV for the Friday game for once, since ESPN hasn't budged off of Kent/Akron on the final Friday in many years (9PM ESPN 2 this year).

This one isn't a big affect on game plans. Other's have been. I was trying to figure out how many have been moved for TV. I remarked that the BG might have been the only conference game I've been to, or planned to go to thus far that wasn't moved for TV. In reality, it was the second. The EMU game was unchanged. Otherwise, Kent, Akron, @BGSU, @BallSt, and now Miami have all been changed for TV, along with @WMU, which wasn't on my list to be able attend. Of the ones that bummed me the most, the Muncie trip is the one that stands out. I've still never been to Worthen.

Being on CBS is worth the movement to me. Moving games for the American Sports Network, or Spectrum Sports/TWC is not - at least not until they ditch the ESPN3 blackouts of those games for non-TWC subscribers.

Until Miami gets good again there is no reason to.

Agreed. ASN is only on Sinclair stations' subchannels, so it's not available on all video services. And TWC sucks. I'm blacked out for Saturday's Kent game even tho I'm a TWC internet customer. I'll wait til 9:30 or so and watch it on WatchESPN replay, but it sucks not seeing a live broadcast. Moving the Fiami game up a half-hour isn't such a big deal. We're planning to be there for Senior Night, so it just means leaving a half-hour earlier.

We will get by.

Agreed Pataskala - to add to the thought, if the channels were available on WOW, or AT&T in Ohio, then blacking it out would make sense. As it is, only TWC subscribers get to see it live, which for the MAC, in my opinion, is bad business.

Like the Friday night tip time, this has been the case for the final home game since the switch to semesters.
