Conflicting Basketball GamesI

I get frustrated with Texas Tech Athletics when they schedule conflicting sporting events, especially in the same sport.   Tonight, the men's basketball team played against West Virginia in Morgantown, and won by 3.  That game started at 6 PM.  The women's team played against Oklahoma at Norman, starting at 6:30 and lost by 5, finishing just a few minutes after the men's team.

It was really frustrating to me also that the men's game was advertised as carried by ESPN2/ESPNU/TTSN, and not one of the cable channels I get carried the game, ESPN2 carried some other game.  I could have watched the game on my laptop or phone, but decided not to.  I listened to the first hour of the men's game on the radio. 

Then, Tech lost me.  Two NBA teams were playing on a channel I did get:  The Minnesota Timberwolves at the Boston Celtics, starting 7 PM.  This was a no brainer to watch, and the Celtics won, 115 to 102.
