Is Friday game on ESPN, or is ACC tourney game on ESPN then?...

Thursday's game is definitely on BTN, but the bracket on bigten.org shows the first two morning games on Friday being played on ESPN as noted here...

But my PVR shows that a second round ACC tourney game where a team plays Notre Dame being played in that time frame, not the Big Ten game then. Checking ACC's tournament bracket shows their games on ESPN too.

Is this some sort of regional coverage where different areas ESPN is covering a different game and we have to tune in through the internet on ESPN3 instead? If so, then the Big Ten is lying if they are saying they are broadcasting all of the tourney games on television services, where it appears that at least two may be narrowcast on the internet rather than aired nationally on ESPN.

B1G says ESPN. What about 2 or U?

I thought bracket went BTN for the ESPN for the final 2 and then swapped for Friday. Only reason I am saying that is the ACC semi's will be on on Friday so they will be later in the day. Are you sure you weren't looking at Thursday?

Only 2 ACC games on Friday. You where looking at Thursday for the ACC.

Since the ACC games are on ESPN and not NBC Notre Dame hasn't yet been penciled into the semis.

Since the Big 10 having their own network is the way to go why aren't all the Big 10 games televised on BTN? Since all of the Big 10 tournament games are being played on the same court you wouldn't have to be concerned about missing the beginning of a game or being pre-empted by another game near the end that might be a closer game.
