I just got my tickets in the mail.

What's the deal with the 11:30 am tipoff on Thursday, Dec. 19th, versus the feared Northwood University Knights from Cedar Hill, TX? (Yes, I had to look it up.)

I guess I'm looking at an extended lunch hour that day.

Tons of grade school students expected for game.

FWIW, Northwood's schedule has this game being played on Wednesday, Dec. 18 ... also tipping off at 11:30 a.m.

Also, Sooner Athletic Conference coaches have picked Northwood to finish last in their 11-team league. (The coaches liked Oklahoma Baptist (94 votes/6 for 1st place) and Southwestern Assemblies of God (92/4).)

(The NAIA-affiliated SAC ("Where Champions Play") was founded in 1977-78 as a basketball conference. Oklahoma Baptist won the Learfield Sports Director's Cup for best overall sports program in the NAIA in 2013. )

I doubt their predictions are scientific -- their second-place pick is undoubtedly a SWAG.

It cannot be on December 18 - last day of Finals for the Fall Semester.

As of today, the Northwood schedule also shows the game on the 19th at 11:30 am.
