Game Thread: CCHA Semi-Final

[BGDrew]

Here's your thread for tonight's game.

I'll be liveblogging from the Joe @ http://bgsuhockey.wordpress.com or you can follow me on twitter @AZZHockey.

Game will be on both Fox Sports Detroit Plus and Fox Sports Ohio or their alternate feed. Game will also be carried on 88.1 WBGU.

Puck drops at 8pm or an hour after after the first game ends (whichever comes last).

Tickets still available at http://www.ticketmaster.com/venueartist ... ympia&amp=

About to leave for the game. Should be there with 34 off my friends around 6pm.

Go FALCONS

Got my DVR set!

Got both Michigan Basketball and Michigan Hockey going on tonight and roughly the same time. At least I won't see any commercials.

Planning on going up tomorrow night. Couldn't make it with the wife/mine work schedules tonight.

Too bad both UM teams going down. OU a very good 3 pt shooting team and the #1 defense against the 3. Both areas where UM usually excels but will struggle tonight.

I predict a 3-1 BG win and a 76-65 OU win

Quite possible and that is what makes college sports to fun to follow.

Anything is possible when it comes to "one and done", but remember Michigan Basketball hasn't lost two games in a row all year long. What Michigan struggles against is the bigger, stronger type teams that like to pound the ball inside. Michigan Hockey knows that Bowling Green has nothing to lose tonight and can let it all hang out with no pressure on them. They are fighting to accomplish something that no other team has ever done before and by doing it would get a bid into the NCAA Tournament.

You should put some money down at Vegas might make some money. If it happens exactly as you say with both teams losing and those exact score I will want to ask you for lottery numbers for both the mega million and powerball.

Asked a few bars around me (even a Michigan bar) if they would be willing to show the hockey game to no avail since the NCAA tourney is on...I'm sure I could find the answer by googling but does anyone know if you can purchase an online feed of the broadcast anywhere?

That is the problem with the basketball NCAA tournament going on the same time as the CCHA. You might want to check Fox Sport Net Detroit. I think in the past they actually had a feed there.

Right now they have a live stream of the high school girls basketball game on, but not sure about later. Might want to check it out there.

I spent the night in Windsor last night, saw The Joe, for the first time in 5 years, from my hotel room this morning. Good Karma I hope. Go BG!

The "Joe" is a great building even for being one of the older professional arenas left nowadays in pro sports.

It is always a great place to watch a hockey game whether it be Detroit Red Wings, Michigan vs. Michigan State when they have one of their games there, The GLI Tournament, or the CCHA Tournaments.

When that building is near full it has a great vibe and carries a lot of hockey history in that building. Hoping for a great event and a great turnout for the games.

Always a great time!

Hope you have a good time especially tomorrow in the early game

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out closer to game time.

And in the "for what it's worth department, looks like WMU will be in the championship tomorrow. They currently hold a 6-2 lead with just over 6 to play over the MU Redskinhawks.

Western dominated the earlier game. Miami got down early and self-destructed. That isn't the Miami from yesteryear that I remember. The discipline is gone from there.

Doesn't look like Fox Sports has an option to buy/watch the feed online anywhere...any other suggestions?
