Other notes:

-Outside of the two March broadcasts, each ESPNU and ESPNews game is broadcast in the afternoon

-6 of the 7 ESPN games are on Saturday

-The traditional 7 or 7:30 p.m. start gets thrown out with BTN Friday doubleheaders. Instead, there are early starts (6:30 p.m. ET) out East and later starts (8:00 p.m. CT) for Minnesota and Wisconsin.

-Only Minnesota-Penn State on January 13th is a Monday game. That's the same number BTN broadcast last season (Feb. 25 Penn State at Wisconsin).

-At the same time, there are only 2 regular season games broadcast nationally outside of the traditional Friday-Saturday schedule.
