After the success of the inaugural Carrier Classic last year, playing college basketball games on the decks of aircraft carriers has become trendy. A new event, Battle on the Midway, will be played Sunday, Nov. 11, on the deck of the decommissioned World War II-era carrier USS Midway, which now serves as a museum docked in San Diego Harbor. The game was originally scheduled for Friday, but the threat of rain pushed the game to Sunday. Two preseason-ranked teams, No. 9 Syracuse and No. 20 San Diego State, will now tip off at 4pm ET on Sunday on FOX Sports Networks regional sports channels (see below for the list of networks and affiliates covering the game). Pregame coverage starts at 3pm ET. Legendary sportscaster Dick Enberg will call the game with analyst Steve Kerr. Erin Andrews reports from the sidelines.
