That Wake Forest vs Campbell matchup is the annual Kids Day game that the Deacs have. More people will be at this game.... than all the previous and future Deac home games.......... combined. Not only is this an inter-state battle... it's a battle of Baptist institutions. You can through out the Bible when the Camels and the Demon Deacons meet up on the hardwood They probably should play this game on a Sunday afternoon...... but I digress.


A few more games of possible interest.

Tues..... The undefeated Binghamton squad ventures down to Coral Gables to take on a disappointing Miami team. 7pm ACCNX

Saturday: My HPU Panthers travel 15 miles to make a visit to cozy Fleming Gymnasium to take on My UNCG Spartans at 4pm... available on ESPN3.

 

[LoTrader]

I am very interested in the Missouri State @ Gonzaga game.

Thanks for compiling @Plebe

 

[Dwilliams02]

Thanks for this. Pretty interesting week for sure.

One thing that I have noticed but it may not be a given.
When a game is listed on a specific Fox Sports station, it might also be on other Regional networks.
For example (and this is a fake example) if the game is broadcast on Fox Sports Oklahoma it may also be on Fox Sports Southeast or another Region. I have caught a few games on Fox Sports Southeast and Fox Sports Carolinas when they were scheduled to be on a different Regional network.

 

[biobioprof]

The Puerto Rico Ga Tech - A&M game is 5pm local time in the Atlantic TZ, which makes it 4PM EST and 3PM CST.

 

[triaddukefan]

I would have put money on Campbell today.... and I would have lost that money

Ha Wake Forest is a sleeping giant! They gave St. John's a close game and I think that has turned around their confidence

 

[triaddukefan]

9,121 in the Joel Coliseum today..... 3rd largest home crowd in Wake Forest History.

Should be a barn burner. Zags hardly ever lose in The Kennel, but Missouri St. is certainly road tested this season.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UT Arlington at Northwestern (12p, BTN+). UTA looks for its second road win over a p5 team.

Still looking. 74-47 Northwestern.

You missed today's battle for supremacy in the state of New Mexico. The 3-7 Aggies visit the 7-4 Lobos. You know what they say about rivalry games.

Yea for Wake Forest! Jen Hoover really needs to have a solid season this year.

She needs to reach the post-season... beyond the ACC tournament.

 

[LETTERL]

@triaddukefan NC A&T needs your help (and so does NC State's SOS). They are trailing Akron by 15 points at the start of the 4th quarter.

The Utah stream really crapped out on me, so I switched over to the Battle of Enchantment and this is a complete trampling. Despite the recent defections, UNM is up 104-48 late in 4Q. The Lobos have Texas transfer Jordan Hosey back in the starting lineup, but the heavy damage was done by Hurst, De la Cerda, and Anderson. New Mexico State is just not a good team.

Yes, they are often on across multiple regional networks. A more important question, from my point of view anyhow, is where do I get listings other than very tediously from the DirecTV on-screen "Guide". I have - and printed out - the main ones - ESPN, FS1, BTN, etc, but am stumped when something turns up on a regional.

I can't answer your question but @Shades and @Plebe seem to have no problem finding great game info for a bunch of other games.

 

[triaddukefan]

Around the state of NC..... UNC-Charlotte had their kids day today..... attendance of 8,015 in a 9,105 seat arena. I see that Dee Kanter was an official in that game. I was thinking that a bit odd.... seems like she only refs the big games. Then I remembered she lives here in NC.. so it made more sense. Charlotte beat Delaware 61-57.

UNC-Wilmington also had their kids day.... 5,100 attendance in a 5,200 seat arena. They lost though.. to Big South foe Winthrop 75-63. The Seahawks have been mild disappointing this season. 3-6 so far... after being picked to finish 5th in the Colonial preseason.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Lexi Gordon went 4-5 from three and finished with 16 points and 5 rebounds for Texas Tech though she did foul out.

 

[Plebe]

Lexi Gordon is in action for Texas Tech. She debuted on Sunday with 6 points in 17 minutes off the bench against Houston Baptist. Today she started and hit 4 of 5 threes on her way to 16 points against Prairie View A&M.

 

[triaddukefan]

Pitt is bad. Its too bad that the Pitt-Wake game is in Pittsburgh this year.... otherwise I would be tempted to drive over to Winston to see them match up and to indulge in hot dogs that you can only get in winston

 

[Plebe]

Holly Rowe surprised a Pitt player, Kyla Nelson, who returned to the court for the first time since cancer surgery:



Apparently Holly moved up by a day her trip to Pittsburgh, where she'll be covering the volleyball final four starting on Thursday.

Pitt might be the one and only p5 team that Wake has a good chance to beat.

 

[triaddukefan]

Well i will cut Pitt some slack... they are playing without their best player and leading scorer... Aysia Bugg.
