TV????

Post by Commodorable »

Why in the world is the #2 team in the country NOT on TV? I just don’t get it.

Maybe because we aren't playing tonight. The regional is over.

Well, what about last night? when we were subjected to wait until 8:00pm to start a game that was not televised.

I watched the game on my TV, as I have every game in the sec tourney and regional. Streaming is terrific since I don't have to worry about "channels" anymore. I just select the game I want to see.

I too have wondered why we aren't getting mainstream TV coverage. I can only guess that it is because we have a smaller alumni and fan base that many others still playing, but it is just a guess.

That's part of it, but it's also because we played two games against Indiana State, which is not from a Power 5 conference. It's all about TV ratings, not the rankings of the team. If Ohio State had won the elimination game against Indiana State, I feel certain we would have been on ESPN2 or ESPNU or the SEC Network Sunday night. Despite their national ranking coming into the tourney, Indiana State is not a nationally known commodity.
