TV change for Creighton game

[THRILLHOUSE]

Saw this on Twitter:

Creighton MBB's March 7 home game vs. Xavier has been moved from Fox Sports 2 to Fox Sports Net and will air only in Ohio and Nebraska.

[XMuskieFTW]

Last regular season game of the season and it's not broadcast nationally. That's very disappointing.

[GoMuskies]

I have DirecTV, so this is not a problem for me, but I feel bad for anyone who cannot get this game. However, from an exposure standpoint, I don't think this is a big deal. No one who is not a Xavier fan or Creighton fan (or a degenerate gambler) was going to be watching this anyway.

That sucks

[xubrew]

More people in the Omaha and Cincinnati markets get Fox Sports Net than FS2, so the move will likely increase the game's exposure. Like GO said, all of the people outside those markets can get FSN just as easily as they can get FS2.

[XMuskieFTW]

Actually, I just checked my TV guide and it said the Xavier Creighton game will be on Fox Sports Detroit. I'm guessing this means it will be on all the local fox channels like it was for the Butler game. This is good news.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Yeah, it's showing up on multiple Fox Sport Net channels for me as well. So hopefully the guide is correct and the Creighton SID is wrong.

You really believe some hayseed in Omaha?

Hopefully, we win the next two and that game becomes basically meaningless except for seeding.

Works for me. That was the only Fox Sports 2 road game. If don't get FS2, so that helps me out.

[XUMIOH12]

this is good for me since I don't get FS2

I'm guessing that Fox Sports Detroit is not on the Spartanburg channel line-up.

[X-band '01]

You people tend to forget just how hard it was for Creighton to televise home games when they used to be in the Missouri Valley Conference.

[XUFan09]

I'm guessing that Fox Sports Detroit is not on the Spartanburg channel line-up.
It could be on one of the many other regional channels.

No I don't. Something always seemed to come up. Time warner would promise to show it on ch 99, game time would come, no game. We'd call the cable company and complain, they wouldn't have an answer. Next day the enquirer would blame "technical difficulties". Playing at Creighton always meant "listen on radio".

Combo that with a conspiracy theory about the refs being paid off as something screwy always seemed to happen there. And we would have no video to judge.

Didn't Sean Miller at the end of the last series with them proclaim we were never going back there if he had anything to do with it.

i will be up there yet again. can't imaging getting off to the same start 12-0 or 15-0 i believe like last year only to lose. high scoring game. gotta guard the three.

Naturally, he goes to a conference where there's little to no visibility east of the Rockies.

And MAKE the three.
