The Ohio Athletic Conference, in collaboration with NKT Productions, is beginning a new venture this year with the webcasting of an OAC Basketball Game-of-the-Week.

The first date on the Game-of-the-Week schedule will feature the John Carroll University women's basketball team. The Blue Streaks will host the University of Mount Union on Wednesday, December 5.

Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. at the DeCarlo Varsity Center. The game can be streamed at https://live.nkt.tv/channel/nkt-productions

The series will be held on the eight Wednesdays that comprise the mid-week dates of the OAC schedule. There will be four men's games and four women's games featured in the series. In addition, NKT will webcast the OAC Men's and Women's Championship final game on Saturday, February 23.

"We're really excited about this new program and we hope this is something that can grow into bigger and better things," claimed OAC Commissioner Tim Gleason. "Our student-athletes deserve this attention. OAC basketball is high quality and fun to watch."

The program will highlight a full scale production with four cameras, three channel instant replays, play by play and color commentators bringing all the action to the viewers. The games will be streamed live in High Definition on NKT.tv and linked to the OAC web site.  All games can be accessed online or from android and iOS devices via the NKT.tv application.

"NKT Productions is proud to be working with OAC to provide greater access to the fantastic athletes of the Conference," said Preston Meyer, General Manager of NKT. "We are hoping our relationship with the OAC can blossom into more exciting ventures."

All 10 OAC members will be featured in the program. No member will appear more than twice and no gender will appear more than once.
