Ohio St at Marquette looks like it will be carried directly on FOX, any others out there?

That's awesome! Although I believe that's a home game, so I'll be in the student section. That's getting DVR'd

Someone else can confirm or deny, but I think when it says Fox national it means all of the Fox regional networks rather than FOX (where NFL games are shown). I could be wrong, but that's how someone explained it to me.

Nope, this game will be on the main FOX channel, it will be the only one though. Hopefully they do more of this in the following years.

Thanks. On the Big East schedule, those listed as "Fox national" do not mean the same channel as this one, correct?

Fox National means it will be played on Fox regional networks whichever ones want to show it.

Fox National means that it will be carried on regional networks. At first I was hoping that it was their main network, but then I looked at the games and they are a bunch of DePaul and Seton Hall games. Not likely that those would make the main network.

Would definitely like to see them put more games on their main network. A nice Georgetown v. Nova game prior to an Eagles v. Redskins NFL game?

I don't understand why FOX would choose to air 1 college basketball game on their broadcast network. Either commit and air a few games or just leave everything on your various sports platforms. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

FS1 has football filling their schedule that day which is why that game was moved to the FOX network.
