MEN'S BASKETBALL
Season kicks off with BCA Classic
By Karl Micka-Foos
Princetonian Senior Writer
With their season-opening tournament already pushed below the fold by the football team's first-place clash with Yale, the last thing members of the men's basketball team needed was a date with the human hype-magnet known as Greg Oden.
As Princeton prepares to kick off its season this weekend at the Black Coaches Association Classic in Columbus, Ohio, a potential second-round matchup with host Ohio State looms large. But Oden ? the two-time reigning national high school Player of the Year and the most prized recruit in Buckeye history ? will not be around to steal any headlines. The freshman center is out until early 2007 following surgery on his right wrist.
Checking in at seven feet, 280 pounds, Oden is hard to miss, and the Tigers certainly won't be missing him. While Ohio State still remains a heavy favorite to sweep the tournament ? ranked No. 4 nationally in the ESPN/USA Today preseason poll ? Oden's absence brings added parity to a field that is already quite strong top to bottom.
Joining the Tigers and Buckeyes at the BCA Classic will be Loyola (Chicago), the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Kent State, South Dakota State, Alabama A&M and Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).
All games will be played at Ohio State's Value City Arena ? a true neutral site for every team but the Buckeyes. While that could mean plenty of empty seats for the Tigers' games, it's by no means something head coach Joe Scott '87 is lamenting.
"I tell the guys all the time, 'We're playing against ourselves,' " Scott said. "So when you go into these [neutral] environments and there's nobody there, well, guess what, you had better be playing against yourself. Nobody cares if there's nobody in the gym, they're keeping score, and 40 minutes are going to go by, and it's going to be who's got more points at the end of the game."

For those with DirecTV, the game is on channel 784. It doesn't look like it's part of the Full Court package or subject to blackout.
We'll see...

i get directv and saw as well that the game is being shown on that channel. i'm not expecting to receive the game, considering that channels that high are usually premium. i have the sportspack, but that goes up to about the upper 600s.
yes, we'll see. |

On ESPN, the scolling bar at the bottom, it said that it would be available with the ESPN Full Court Package. |
