It's not every day that Gonzaga takes on Creighton in a sporting event.

But on Tuesday night, that's what happens. It's Bulldogs and Blue Jays from Spokane, Washington.

Creighton is ranked No. 23 in the country and won its first game.

Gonzaga is No. 19 and has two wins under its belt.

It'll be a great watch, unless you have YouTube TV. Then you're out of luck.

Why isn't the Gonzaga-Creighton game on YouTube TV tonight?

The Bulldogs and Blue Jays are missing on YouTube TV because of an incomplete deal between ESPN's parent company and YouTube TV's parent company.

ESPN networks went dark on YouTube TV on Oct. 30.

Google's YouTube TV and Disney's ESPN remain locked in a stalemate over carriage fees.

"Disney is proposing costly economic terms that would raise prices for YouTube TV customers and give our customers fewer choices, while benefitting Disney’s own live TV products," YouTube TV said in an early statement.

According to Deadline, Google submitted a "revised proposal" over the weekend, although it's not clear exactly how the talks are progressing.

This was a big deal on Monday night, when YouTube TV subscribers couldn't watch the Packers and Eagles play on Monday Night Football. And it has carried over to multiple big college basketball games on Tuesday, including the preceding Kentucky-Louisville showdown.
