1/17 Games
I'm just passing this info for on for anyone planning on seeing b-ball on MLK weekend:
"Because the games on the 17th are now being televised, the schedule for the day is as follows:

Noon KSU Men vs. Miami University

2:30 p.m. KSU Women vs. Ohio University"

Sorta miffed by this. I was planning on being at the men's game at 7:00, but now that its at noon, I would need to leave home at 3am to maybe make it there if the roads are good. I guess once again they sacrafice attendance for a chance to be on tv. I'm sure the student section will be plenty empty as well.

More MAC scheduling wizardry. Players are going to have to show up at the arena at what, 10? Just too early. Few people are going to want to attend a game at noon.

I'm sure the theory behind it is to get the fans in the stands for the men's game, then they will stay for the women's. However, I always believe that in theory Communism works.

Well I am not going now. Dorms don't open until Sunday, but I was going I was planning on staying with my friend who lives off campus. Too early to make the 4 hour trek back to Kent. It's disappointing because there are 3 games that you can count on the MACC getting loud for.... Ohio, Miami, Akron.

Using a mens game to get people in the seats for a womens game does not work when the mens game is first. They just all leave. The oher way around puts some people in the stands for the womens second half but its minimal.

I think any chance the team has to play on tv they need to take. Whether they like moving the time or not. They can't t urn down they opportunity.

Besides, tv games are usually the most fun. I love it when cameras are in the arena. I Wouldn't miss it.

FSN did several of these doubleheaders with the men at noon and women at 2:30, so I am guessing FSN might have asked for it to be this way.

Student attendance is poor for games before school starts every year regardless of opponent, so they can capitalize on trying to get some youth basketball teams there with the cheap ticket deal.

Why not schedule these doubleheaders against the same school?
