Your correct, Champions Classic is on ESPN, but this game is at Ohio State.

Nov. 18th is the 24 hour ESPN Tip-Off Marathon. If MU @ Ohio State is not on BTN, it will be part of the ESPN 24 hour marathon.

So it might be played during the day on a Tuesday? Yuck... This is just a guess 4pm on ESPN or at night on ESPN2.

I use a vacation day, so I enjoy hoops all day! I don't make it for the 3AM game in Hawaii.
