News & Observer | newsobserver.com | 2008 NCAA Men's Bracket

In case you're wondering what else MASN carries besides Major League Baseball games involving the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals, the regional sports network just released its college basketball game schedule for this season.

MASN doesn't have the rights to ACC games, of course, but there are a lot of games from the Big East, Conference USA and Colonial Athletic Association, among other conferences. MASN's lineup of more than 200 games includes more than 80 Big East games.

The UNC-Wilmington men will be on MASN nine times, Charlotte five, Davidson three, East Carolina three, Gardner-Webb twice, UNC-Asheville twice, High Point twice, and Western Carolina, UNC-Greensboro, Wake Forest and Elon once each.

MASN is carried in North Carolina by satellite TV providers DirecTV and Dish Network and several smaller cable companies, reaching more than 800,000 viewers, but is still locked in a battle to get Time Warner Cable to put MASN on a standard tier. TWC has offered to put MASN on a special sports tier, which is available to subscribers willing to pay extra for it.

The biggest appeal of MASN to North Carolina basketball fans would be its coverage of games outside the ACC, though it will televise the BB&T Classic on Sunday, Dec. 7, when Navy faces Virginia Tech at 5 p.m. and George Washington meets Maryland at 7:30 p.m at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C.

Here are the MASN men's games involving North Carolina schools:
