Any guesses as to when BTN decides whether the BJC wrestling match against Iowa on 2/10 is at 6 p.m. or 8 p.m.? Thanks.

It's probably going to depend on when ESPN announces the time for the Purdue at Michigan State basketball game (and I think the contract gives them a two week window)..

There are two basketball games that have times that are yet to be announced for that Saturday. Purdue at Michigan State on ESPN or ESPN2 and Iowa at Ohio State on BTN. The BTN is already broadcasting the Rutgers at Nebraska game at 4 pm. The Iowa at PSU wrestling match is slotted for either 6 or 8 pm and you can expect the Iowa at Ohio State hoops game to fill the other. The Purdue/MSU game has also been slotted for either 6 pm or 8 pm by ESPN. Chances are pretty good that the Big Ten doesn't want to have the two hoops games going up against each other. So once ESPN decides what slot the Purdue/MSU game has, then the BTN will put the Iowa/OSU game into the other leaving Iowa/PSU wrestling to go up against the Purdue/MSU hoops game.

Thanks very much.
