This week’s homecoming contest between No. 5 Northwest Missouri State and No. 16 Emporia State Saturday, Nov. 3, has been selected as the MIAA TV Game of the Week and will kick off at 2:30 p.m. The selection fills the first week of flex broadcasting as announced by the MIAA.

Kickoff for the Bearcats’ homecoming game was originally slated for 2 p.m., but is pushed back to fit the network TV window at 2:30 p.m. This will be the second time this season the Bearcats will be featured as the MIAA TV Game of the Week with the first being during a week five win over Northeastern State.

The Bearcats and Hornets enter Saturday’s game tied atop the MIAA standings, both with only one loss. Northwest is coming off an impressive 56-6 road win over Washburn while ESU fell at home Thursday night to Missouri Western, 57-28.

The final flex game in the MIAA TV has yet to be set by the league office.
