Is this CBS Network? Please tell me yes. Hope it's not CBS Sports Channel.

I'm also going to assume it is a Saturday - Sunday thing since CBS Network wouldn't show the Semis on a Friday Night.

Yes CBS, not CBS Sports Network. From AAC director of communication:

So there is good news this offseason

 

[Balker]

CBS execs must not be reading the BY or they would know about UConn basketball's imminent demise.

 

[HCope]

As positive as this is, I'm not excited for trying to stream these games.

and the clouds opened...the sun shines again...finally something positive!

Good for Cincinnati and Wichita

The Big Ten tourney at MSG is so wrong it's not even funny

 

[kobe]

Excellent news. Now I will be able to watch Cincinnati disappoint me in the title game and then disappoint me in the seed they get back to back on the same network.

Oh go be happy with the recruit you snaked from us and stf up

 

[auror]

That makes us the CBS lead-in to the selection show?

And wait for the impending 1st game loss in the dance

But if the Big Ten had UCONN, it'd be oh so right...

 

[kobe]

And wait for the impending 1st game loss in the dance

Of course. That's a given.

Is the Big East Tournament no longer at MSG?

 

[Marat]

Is the Big East Tournament no longer at MSG?

Big Ten will be at MSG the week before, I believe.... then the Big East Tournament.

 

[kobe]

So this is actually only for one season. Once the Big 10 tournament goes back to its usual spot in 2019, we go back to ESPN.

Feel like the Wichita addition probably had an impact on this. Dream scenario for CBS has to be UConn, WSU, Cincy, and SMU in he semis. Those games would deliver solid ratings

UConn and Cincinnati both being ranked and going head to head will bring great ratings for the foreseeable future. Thanks Jalen!

eh not really. In a perfect world without TV money and greed the Big Ten is a midwestern league with the traditional schools that have always been there and we're in the Big East. But of course life sucks so.

Disagree. UCONN belongs with Northern, rural, public flagships with healthy athletic budgets. Also, anytime UCONN plays at MSG, it's a win-win for everyone involved.

Well except whomever we play...

 

[lange10]

This will be good exposure for Wichita st, smu, Cincy and UCF
