Any home game we have will be televised it's just a matter of if you and I will have to pay extra for it. 

I see that they aren't going to allow fans to the tournament.  Totally understandable.  HOWEVER....is it going to at least be televised, or broadcast on the radio?  Or are we just going to have to read about it the next day in the paper? 

I'm sure it will be on Radio as it's a game.   

Since their are no fans allowed and if the B1G permits it they should at the least stream it free or let NET televise it.

Hopefully more than just the Nebraska Games are broadcast in some fashion.  I'd like to see as much of the tournament as possible.  Big 10 could show it and do PBA on BTN and the Bob on BTN2.  BTN2 is honestly worthless they don't use if for situations like this and in most cases seem to show exactly the same thing on BTN and BTN2

This isn't a Nebraska event so the games that don't feature Nebraska will not be on the BTN and I doubt any of the Nebraska games as part of the event will be on the BTN. 

Most every team in Div 1 is going to be playing on Thanksgiving week so I would expect that the majority of these will be on a a stream that one has to pay for.

The McNeese St game, which isn't part of the event, should either be on BTN or BTN Plus.

Sounds like the Big 10 schedule will be released tonight or tomorrow.

Fred said last night that they may move the start time vs McNeese to earlier in the day than usual to allow for TV.

Wednesday could be an all-day hoops day on TV on a few networks.

Posted the question on PBA's fb page about televised coverage and this was the response I got...and pretty much expected: Please “stay tuned” as that communication channel is secured.

This looks like Nebraska vs St Louis in the first round At 1:00 And it’s on BTN.

And their game vs San Francisco is TBA either BTN or BTN+.

Did the game vs McNeese St get cancelled? Huskers website says St Louis is Nebrasketball’s next game.

Are we just playing the two games and calling it good?  Or do the teams with the best records 'advance' to play each other in a tournament final or something similar?  I'm kind of bummed if the only teams we play from this field are StL and SFU.

Edit: I just looked up KenPom ratings and I see that SFU is actually a top 100 team too, not just StL.  So I'm a little less disappointed, although I would've liked to see us get a shot at LSU.

When I go to Huskers.com and the basketball page, I see McNeese at 11 AM on the 25th

From my understanding, it's more a round-robin type setting than a tournament type setting.  So you play your games and go home.  There's no "final" game.

You missed the golden window when it wasn't posted

So Chadron State is the replacement for Illinois state? Now I hate the red birds even more. They killed Kenny.

Any chance that you can travel from Las Vegas or California to Lincoln, Nebraska to play Chadron State - you do it. 

So...St Louis is “withdrawing due to COVID”, but they can somehow still host a tournament? I’m confused.

I'd infer that our city's/state's lack of control of Covid is the issue.

It could also be that they would need to state a reason to withdraw so they don't have to pay a penalty or something like that.

Event still on

So since St Louis snd LSU are both out and LSU was scheduled to play WKU on Thanksgiving...I’m assuming Nebraska will play WKU on Thanksgiving instead?
