And you were unable to attend the game in Cleveland?

CBSSN has been showing the semis the last year or two (or more?) with ESPN picking up the Saturday championship game. However, while CBSSN is showing the first semi tonight live, it is airing the second semifinal on tape delay early Saturday morning. Instead of showing the EMU-UT game live, CBSSN is showing the two Mountain West semis live.

I know I'd be more than a little bit upset if Ohio was in this game.

Looking back, this is the second year on CBSSN. Last year they showed both, they just adjusted game times slightly from the usual to pull it off (5:30 and 8:00 instead of 6:30 and 9:00)

Was it always planned to be tape delayed? Or was it a last second decision based on it being teams no one cares about?

Pre-2017 it was TWCSN, which is still the worst... at least with CBSSN I can watch it online.

And by comparison, the Ivy league is on ESPN2 and ESPNU for their semi-finals today.
