BGSU v. UMASS is at 4:30 tomorrow. 4:30 on a Tuesday!?

Still bizarre. The whole point of "MACtion" is the Prime Time window.

I thought the point was to get on ESPN when they have time available, whenever that might be, so as to get a check.

That wasn't lost on me. The "MACtion" kills our attendance narrative has always been a bit of a false narrative and that really drove that home.

This game probably wouldn't draw a larger TV audience (or attendance) even if it were in prime time or on the weekend. It's a game between two teams going nowhere this season, so when it's played is pretty much irrelevant. ESPN probably thought they'd get a bigger audience for one of their b-all events and they're probably right; it's Temple vs Princeton at 7:30. Playing at 4:30 gives everyone involved a a couple hour jump on the holiday. Looks like the rain we've had here today is heading for Amherst, so they could probably use the extra time.
