Now I have to hope for a close game so I'll get to watch BG play.

Anyone know of any other outlets? (ESPN 360 online, maybe??)

In the north,central and northeastern parts of Ohio and the entire state of Oklahoma. Only those areas will carry the game in its entirety. Sorry you guys that live in other areas. You might want to check to see if ESPNU is doing the game too. I actually was lucky enough to watch the entire BG-UCLA game in a large Irish sports pub in Mesa Arizona last year, it was on ESPNU. But yeah whiparound sucks.

What's whiparound coverage? Will I not get to see much? I'm in San Francisco and it's impossible to know what they'll show out here.

Watch the women's coverage on ESPN right now, that's what you'll likely see tomorrow... 5 mins at a time from a string of games, then they'll follow the close one down the stretch.

Looks like Columbus will get it.

I can't believe it will help ratings. It makes me furious. Those of us in Southern Ohio are probably gonna get stuck watching only a few minutes. I still don't want it to be close. Hope BG wins by 30!

2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
The map below details home market protected gameareas which will see their home market games in their entirety. The rest of the country (WHITE) will be part of ESPN's whiparound coverage, where ESPN will take viewers to the best action from different games.



Regionlization/Home Market Protection: In the home markets of the competing teams, ESPN will televise the game of local interest. While constant updates from the other games will be provided, the networks, for the most part, will not switch to another game during live action, thereby establishing home market protection. The games listed below are scheduled to be shown in there entirety in the market areas:





• SILVER: Prairie View vs. North Carolina (Channels -- DTV 205, FullCourt 783, Dish Channel 145, Dish FullCourt 459)
• PINK: Oklahoma State vs. Bowling Green (Channels -- DTV 210, FullCourt 784, Dish Channel 146, Dish FullCourt 461)
• BROWN: UT-Chattanooga vs. Baylor (Channels -- DTV 211, FullCourt 785, Dish Channel 141, Dish FullCourt 460)
• PURPLE: Harvard vs. Maryland (Channels -- DTV 213, FullCourt 786, Dish Channel 147, Dish FullCourt 462)




I'm going to BDubs (BW3) to watch it in its (hopeful) entirety on one of the channels listed above.

I'm stuck at work with regular cable TV and the inter-web. . .which I thought was a good thing since I was expecting to see the Falcons at 2pm on THE ESPN.

Has anyone figured out if there is a way to watch the feed online?

Otherwise I'll have EPSN whippin' 'round on the tube and gamecast on the 'puter. . .. . and perhaps AZZ.com chat as well.

The bars here suck. None of them have DTV or anything that will allow me to see the game.

I see from the ESPN coverage map that the Columbus area is supposed to get the BG game instead of the "whiparound". Perhaps I am worrying about nothing, but my info/guide on Time Warner shows that I will be receiving the whiparound coverage. Is the same info showing on Time Warner in BG or Toledo?

So I did some googling and after a few swings and misses I cam accross this site : http://www.channelchooser.com/

Which linked to ESPN360 which says the Ok State vs. BG game will be online LIVE if you click on the Full Court tab.

Aww crap you have to order the Full Cout which would be $14.95 for one game. I have got to find a way to watch this game. . .
