From what I can tell it is going to be ESPN3 on computer only. I scrolled through to tonight on my channel guide and Mediacom Channel 22 is showing high school basketball, 9.2 is showing UNI, and Fox is showing American Idol. From what I remember, ESPN3 is not blacked out when the game is on Big 12 network, only when it is on one of the ESPN tv channels. At least, that is my hope. Otherwise, I may be looking for a bar somewhere in town with satellite.

Thanks for the info...appreciated!

I did a little more research and found that WOI and WHO are broadcast from the same tower. However, WHO is broadcast from 600 m at 36.5 kW while WOI is a little lower but only around 11kW. So I should be able to get it with a preamp. Don't know if that helps anyone else. I just won't be able to install it till we come out of this mini ice age.

Nope, can't get it. I have tried.
Except for the fact the season is essentially over I would ask about that. I don't know the details, but ESPN said that they were going to make it available to every college campus or something. Maybe it was only d1 or something.

We'll see what happens. I'll try to access before game time. I'm also considering having my bro set up remote access from our home. If that fails I'll check out first row sports.

I'm a senior too. so this will be the last time I'll have to deal with it.

So without reading through all of this drabble, can anyone 100% confirm an establishment in Cedar Rapids that will be broadcasting the game? Also, please let me know of said establishment so I can be there in 6 hours.

No it's not the actual game. It just provides information about where the game is available on TV.

Even better...Iowa State! Then you can just walk across the street and see it in person.
Iowa State was my second choice and I ultimately regret not going to ISU, but at Coe I receive ACM tuition remission since my dad works at Grinnell College. Simpson and Central are not ACM schools, so I didnt even consider them.

Umm ok...so you are telling me that that channel will just broadcast what channel I should turn to?

Channel 22 is what it should be on. When something is listed as "mediacom" it generally means MC22

Thank you. Between the cities and different providers referenced in this thread, along with my skimming, I wasn't sure if it would be on anywhere. :)

In central Iowa it is on Woi. In eastern Iowa it is on Cedar Falls Utilites as well as likely Mediacom channel 22.

No conference MBB games will ever likely be live on Cyclones tv
