Canada trip for #ShockerHoops will air on @keyn1037 August 6,7,9 and 10. All games besides the 10th are live, 10th is t-delayed at 6pm.

I was almost ready to blame someone for no radio coverage... Sexton, oh I mean Boatright!!





It's another great day to be a Shocker!

I had to just guess where WSU will sit. Based on the seat Rally Doug chose, I chose across the arena in section G. It doesn't look like the tour organizer for WSU has had seats reserved yet.

Actually, the seating on the side of the arena that you chose is bench seating. On my side, it is individual seats. No problem though, I will introduce you to Pistol Pete and Jose who like the bench seats. Sections E/F are behind the Wichita bench.

PS - "Arena" is a rather grandiose term for the Ravens' Nest. Seats about 1,500, so more like a cozy basketball gym. When Carleton plays big games, they use the hockey arena where the NHL Ottawa Senators play which seats around 20,000, although the largest crowd there for a Ravens' game has been just over 10,000.

Probably posted somewhere...but can we get the times the games are played?

[Dave Stalwart]

Can we please just pay a little cash and send Mike Kennedy and Dave Dahl up there and do this thing just like they are regular games? I'd love to have nice little hometown slant as I listen to the first look of our new Shockers. GoFundMe, maybe? I'm in...

Or is this already the idea? Right now, I'm assuming they are just playing whatever feed is available from whoever covers the games up there.

Those are eastern times so it will be an hour earlier here. The Eagle says Kennedy and Dahl /will/ be doing this. The last game is a tape delay until 6 pm here.

Can we get some odds for whether or not the radio equipment will actually work from Canada?

Well... If it doesn't work from Koch arena, I'd say our outlook is bleak.

New equipment has arrived. We are probably good to go this year!

This looks like that "fiber" optic technology.

Does anyone know if Canada plays by NCAA type rules or FIBA?

Careful. One of our local referees will think you are being derogatory and scold you for speaking without being qualified to speak. :)
