It's not listed on ougrizzlies.com
Why even have a network?

On their website it says they are showing Butler-Northwestern on TV, and then the OU-Wiscy game is available via their streaming service for $2.99. If this is correct, I'm hoping it just shows up on channelsurfing.com

I don't understand how they pick games to show. I watched IPFW get hammered by Wisconsin on BTN, but I have to pay 2.99 to watch Oakland online? Do they really want to show one of their teams (Northwestern) get hammered by Butler? Just don't get it.

My guess is that it is based on the Big10 team. i.e. They will not show Wisconsin 2 times in a row. Given that Butler was going to be a ranked team, they probably decided long ago to show them vs Northwestern. I'm also guessing that they either want to show Big10 teams against ranked trams, or some other team they will likely blow-out.

A response from the BTN at one of our forums said that the schools control when they play non-conference games and since Northwestern and Wisconsin happened to schedule their games at the same time, they could only choose one, and picked the one with a ranked opponent. And apparently they can only use the overflow channels for football.
The online streaming is okay, not great... reminds me of the quality of your average standard definition youtube video. It's the Kohl Center feed, so everything you see is on the video screens above the court. The announcers will be Wisconsin's radio guys, Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas. Lepay is a great play-by-play guy and I'd say both are pretty unbiased, so it shouldn't be annoying like some homers get to be.
