As of yesterday there were good seats in the upper bowl available for the Saturday and Sunday games.

How do you not show the #1 team in America on TV? The ratings would be better than most of the other conferences for sure.

 

[mntncougar]

I don't understand why SNY doesn't carry the games that ESPN apparently doesn't want

 

[JordyG]

Not really surprising. Last year it was the same. The 1st round against E. Carolina was online only.

I believe ESPN owns the rights.

That decision has nothing to do with UCONN and everything to do with the crummy AAC. If we were in a P5 conference it would be on a regular channel. I don't think the quarterfinal round game was ever on anything but ESPN3 even back when we were in the Big East.

That is what you get for playing in a power 5 conference even if it just a collection of mediocre teams like the ACC. There isn't any legitimate NC caliber teams in the entire ACC conference, they are competitive because not a single team is outstanding!

Huh? I beg to disagree, Notre Dame is arguably the 2nd best team in the country right now. Add in Duke and FSU (sporadic but talented) and there are 3 possible final 4 teams.

When networks schedule their programming they must consider the time slots that the conference assigns times, not teams. So when evaluating the AAC they could get stuck with Tulane-UCF that even a Met spring training game would easily out view or in on ESPN network, Bass fishing would draw more. It's one game people, relax and stop being so entitled!

 

[Ozzie Nelson]

Anyone know if WTIC 1080 am(Bob J) will have the game on Saturday?

 

[chrissaran]

Duke and FSU will not be traveling to Dallas, and they will not be playing on March 31st or April 2nd.

 

[DefenseBB]

....and FSU in trouble right now down 7 to a resurgent Miami team...you could be spot on

 

[Ozzie Nelson]

No, Oz we don't know

Where I live the radio reception is really crappy, even though I'm only 20 miles from Hartford and 10 from Wili. Some nights I cant listen to either at all.
Tunein is crystal clear and on any time IMG carries the game, which as far as I know is EVERY game.

Exactly. People have such short memories.

 

[bizarro aj]

Whats the big deal, so you have to watch it online. Its still in hd and i'm working today so i have to watch it on my cell on watchespn. The game will be a blowout anyway so we aren't missing anything.

 

[uconnell]

I can't seem to connect to the game. Blackout, maybe?

 

[topogigio]

Is the game running late, just get Please Stand By?

 

[Shorty Dee]

Do anyone know why the game is delayed? I am getting the message "Please stand by".

 

[augustaTC]

Just like ESPN.....probably had another overtime game in its slot or decided to switch it to some other channel at the last minute. I actually saw the warm-ups for about 30 seconds when everything disappeared. Please Stand By....for what pray tell.

 

[uconnell]

Previous game went to overtime.

 

[Los24]

[Shorty Dee]
