Confirming what we already feared....SHAME on CBS College Sports...SHAME!

For those unable to make the trip to Minneapolis for the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Semifinal between Oswego State and Adrian on Friday, March 25 at 4:30 p.m. ET, there are several ways in which fans can catch the action. The game will be webcast at ncaa.com/video, but a link to the game will not appear until March 25. SUNY Oswego student-operated WNYO 88.9 FM will also be broadcasting all of the Laker games in Minneapolis. Fans can listen to the game at www.wnyosports.com.

The championship game will also be webcast at this site on Saturday, March 26 at 8 p.m. ET. None of the Division III Men's Ice Hockey Championship games will be televised.

In the game against Elmira, Quinn Waller (5'11") was retreating backwards while closing down the lane.
When the oncoming smaller forward cut to try to beat him to the middle....Waller anticipated, turned, faced and caved him in with one of best open ice hits you'll ever see. McSweeney called Waller for charging......and polled the other referees to see if they felt 5min was warranted. The smaller forward got up quickly like good players do when they get smoked cleanly.

I agree. That was the weirdest call I have ever seen. McSweeney got embarrassed when he polled the other 2 officials and they told him it should not have even been a penalty. I am hoping he won't be asked to officiate any of the games in Minneapolis. That should be reserved for the best officials that the NCAA has. I think most fans hope for a great game that no one even notices the guys in the striped shirts.

See you all in Minny!

What does CSTV cover these days? It not in my cable package, but I thought was that it was to be a channel that covered college sports that weren't given coverage on the "major" networks (the ones that cover pro sports and pro-college (DI) sports). It seems like there's nobody who covers amateur college sports any more.

I was just reading the women's board. The Division I Women's championship game is also no longer being broadcast by CBS College Sports.

You're right -- just what the h*ll does CBS College Sports cover these days?

(That was a rhetorical question.)

As noted, they are sending Jones:

...they are sending five, the three Mikey's - Mike St Louis, Mike Baker, Mike Jones along with Robert Tisi and James Doyle.

That's what CSTV *used* to cover. Now that they're CBS College Sports, this time of year they seem to have transitioned to all March Madness, all the time. They're just airing and re-airing bracket shows all day.

The odd thing is that on both semi and final days, instead of airing a D3 game live, they are airing repeats of a D1 conference championship.

It's too bad. They at least aired the title game last year. Then again...those TV timeouts were pretty brutal ;)

I still say the The OCHO would really work if they focused on nothing but minor leagues and college sports at the D2 or D3 level. Whatever is on the Flagship and Me2, nothing on it.
 
Re: NCAA National Semifinal: Adrian vs. Oswego

I don't think you could ask for a better match up than this one. On one side you have an Oswego State team that is loaded with transfers that came here to win a National Championship and this is there last shot. Last year they dominated the regular season, dominated the SUNYAC playoffs and dismantled Bowdoin before ultimately falling just short of making the final. They will be looking to avenge that loss and will be putting it all on the line to do so.

On the other side you have an Adrian team full of Seniors who went their looking to take a new program from the ground floor all the way to the penthouse before they were done and like Oswego's transfers this is their last shot. They have struggled to prove their legitimacy over the last three seasons and if beating Elmira didn't do that beating Oswego will.

You also have two of the most potent offenses in Division III although Oswego's hasn't shown up as often as it did last year.
