ESPN can't broadcast the SNY games on any of their networks because the Big East's main affiliate is FOX. They didn't broadcast any of SNY's games last year, because they were on the FoxSports1 app.
UConn games broadcasted on SNY were also broadcasted on ESPN3 last year. I watched them both ways. The games broadcasted on FS1, FS2 and CBSSN ARE NOT broadcasted on ESPN3. As stated above I will check ESPN3 and ESPN+ later this week, because the schedule will not let me go pass Saturday.
FOX owns the rights to all Big East games period. ESPN only broadcasted UConn games that were either away games such as Arkansas, Baylor, or games that ESPN has rights to such as "Play for Kay" games. Not one SNY game was carried on ESPN3 last year because the contract that SNY has with FOX stipulates that only FOX has the rights to broadcast their games to area's that's out of SNY's coverage area. ESPN3 did cover SNY when UConn was affiliated with the AAC. Go to ESPN's Division I Schedule for the 14th and this is what you will see for Arkansas at UConn. Any game that ESPN is covering has what partner it is on, the one below is blank. Meaning no ESPN or their affiliates.

.Correction: I heard now that she has just been medically cleared to play (she injured her knee last year in her senior high school season). However, no word whether she actually will play or take a redshirt. Regardless, she is unlikely to be in position to contribute meaningful minutes in the near future.
. *I was spoiled last year, I could watch our games both ways.
Hope SNY puts together a nice extended pregame (season opening) show. Anyone have any details?I just wanted to update my post. Arkansas vs UConn will not be broadcasted on ESPN3. The game is only being broadcasted on SNY. Maybe after the game someone will post it on youtube
NIKA??????
Ramirez is a great shooter, but she doesn’t present nearly the challenge that Dungee & Slocum presented last year. Ramirez is basically a catch and shoot 3 pt threat. Dungee and Slocum could beat defenders off the dribble.
true but she's the best three point shooter they have this season and she can go off for 20 plus points quite easily if not hounded.....
I think it will be a group effort but I'm sure Nika will play her part...........Goforth will also be a defensive challenge.......she was a great pick up for Arkansas.
I’m expecting Christyn to hound her like an angry Husky.
The Razorbacks starting lineup was a combined 2/16 from the arc.
If anything close to that happens on Sunday it will be mighty ugly for them. I am more interested in how we defend than in how we score.
I watched some of the game. Tarleton is not a good team. Many of Arkansas’s misses were wide open shots. UConn has significantly more length and athleticism and will challenge many of those shots.
That’s right. Geno has a plethora of very capable and knowledgeable coaches and advisers at his disposal all season here in the yard if he needs us. He knows that.
HuskyinSC, I love this post, and agree 100% with its content and direction. I nominate it for Post Of The Day!! (POD)
This should be a “statement“ game in more ways than one as you mentioned in the last two sentences.
Thank you! That's high praise from the Great and Powerful, All-Knowing CarnacHuskyinSC, I love this post, and agree 100% with its content and direction. I nominate it for Post Of The Day!! (POD)
Give her to Nika, and tell Nika: you’ve got one job to do!!
