CBS Sports and schedule on Google. At first I thought it could be a central time listing but all of the other games are in eastern times. I do see it says 7:00pm however on the USF web site...not that it’s any more trustworthy.

And on the ESPN site ...... the ones who'll be broadcasting it.

It makes sense it would be 7:00pm if it’s on one of the main Espn channels. Thanks.

Both schedules I'm seeing online from USF and Houston show the same time- though Houston says it in CST at 6pm.

If something does change, we will be sure to update. But at this point-- I am not seeing other evidence of different time.

Now watch it get cancelled for COVID19 or something. lol

Ok, it was my bad then. I guess I thought it was possible as some games have been moved up with COVID.
