Think it was conference games, but only 3.

I thought it was 9? I distinctly remember thinking how tough it was going to be for a team to go without their starting coach for half of the conference schedule.

JC had 3. Boeheim has 9.

It's -cking Battle 4 Atlantis. There are some damn good programs being featured. It just makes no sense.

But you know if UK was in it, there's no way it wouldn't be in the network.

Well Kentucky is a much bigger draw then us and they bring in a lot more viewers regardless we shouldnt be playing on this channel
 
Any of you with DirecTV - is AXS on the more basic sports packages? That is, would any bar with DirecTV have the channel or is it something you need to request specially?
 
Once in a while, watching a game at Buffalo Wild Wings is fun. But when it's being forced on you, it feels awful. Why is being me so hard?
 
Maybe AXS bid hard for it as it was the better first round match up. Try to gain attention for that channel in those hardcore markets. Like COX with ESPNU way back and Uconn Football.

Love the draw -- first game against Michigan is a must-win though in order to ensure 3 good OOC matchups. Best case scenario is Michigan-Cuse-Gonzaga. That would be a major RPI boost. Michigan-Charlotte-A&M would be bad.

The fact that we're the undercard to Syracuse and off of ESPN doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling in this era where we're fighting for exposure.

Texas A&M should be a top 25/NCAA tournament team, they were a bubble team last year and return most of the team and add one of the best recruiting classes in the country.

I don't follow recruiting much but is the sec as a whole recruiting a lot better recently or am I imagining it?

It could be the country getting sick of Kentucky and wanting to dethrone them in the SEC.

Not sure the SEC has ever had much trouble recruiting, even in basketball. Finding quality coaches seems to be a problem for a lot of those schools.
 
re: AXS, 340 on DirecTV - so the basic package and you don't need the sports package, but if you're a sports fan, why wouldn't you have the sports package anyway?

Sat TV is for rednecks and people who like getting any sports feed available. How any UConn loving person doesn't have DirecTV is beyond me. Haven't missed a game in years.

And now for the horrid thought - if we lose the first game, all the rest are on AXS.

I get all of that, but I think its mainly because satellite is a dated technology with internet and connectivity issues.
 
the only thing i like about frontier cable right now is that i happen to have this AXS channel... 1106 for all the rest of you that have to deal with frontier as well

Boeheim will be coaching - the suspensions are for the first 9 conference games.

Good. Would be annoying hearing "we didn't have Boeheim" excuses. I hope DHam takes a dump on Malachi Richardson.

If I recall correctly the same thing happened in 2011 when we played UNC Asheville. Cable companies that didn't have the station just picked up the one UConn game.
 
Since ESPN is the primary carrier, I wonder if the AXS games will be provided online on WatchESPN? Probably not live, but maybe replay?

Yeah, it was the same station as AXS TV back then, just under a different name - HD Net. Would be surprised if the same thing didn't happen for this tournament.
