Someone getting another bye in Quarterfinals?

Wow - feel bad for the Merrimack kids.

I'm assuming every men's playoff game will be carried by NESN as well?

Hopefully not. no way to watch without cable if that's the case.

Collegesportslive.com has been broadcasting all the games

They're blacked out if the games are carried by NESN..

Ah I see

 

[The Viking]

If they are, I would suggest you sign up for a "free trial" of att tv now app, they have NESN. Then just dump it after a week before they bill you. Maybe there's another way you can get access to NESN also...

So it's set in stone that we host Providence in second round, yes? 4 hosting 5?

Everyone has to stay super-careful right now this close to the HE playoffs.

Whew...that’s a long wait. Hope everyone stays smart, Covidwise. (as The Viking already mentioned)

Any TV?? Hoping for nesn.

I’d hope CW 20 picks it up for the Connecticut audience if it’s not on NESN. We could use the in state exposure.

It’s not looking like there are any plans for this. One has to wonder why. Perhaps it’s a contractual thing with the HEA and NESN. i figure NESN has the rights and are unwilling or unable to allow another channel to broadcast the game. In any event, it’s a shame that the game won’t be available to a wider audience in Connnecticut.

Trying to think of which outlet gives UConn hockey the cold shoulder more - NESN or the Hartford Courant.

Tough call.

NESN and the Boston media constantly underestimate how many UConn fans there are in the Boston metro. They need a wake up call. When I went to watch the last basketball game, walked in to Buffalo Wild Wings (I know, I know, but it has TVs) and the game was on zero TVs. UConn women were on, and the big screen had Kentucky. It happens every time. They simply don't consider us even regional.

With BC, BU, NU, UMass, Lowell & MC all Massachusetts teams, there is no room for us. It’s really the BSN - Boston Sports Network, not the New England Sports Network when it comes to college hockey.

Agreed...for now. But times they are a changing, so we will see. Nice to get SNY involved, I'd get more amped about a hockey relationship with them. Always thought it would have been great if we could have rolled the hockey team.into the women's hoops agreement. Maybe we still can

Don’t forget PC is just over the border from southeast Mass and UNH is just 20 minutes north of the Mass border. UConn Maine and Vermont are he outliers.

It's always been like that. Over the years I've sent them a number of messages when UConn results aren't even mentioned on days they're using filler stories.

Also, it is possible that in the mind of Boston centric NESN, there are a few too many New York sports fans in Connecticut for their comfort level.

Definitely not untrue.
