No ESPN3 for First Night this year

[sammydabiz]

Guys, I know we're a lil on edge here (acknowledging mid Oct is the longest we go each year without college bball) but I did put a winky face at the end. I was being sarcastic, but I knew some would take the bait. Apologies.

One luv

Why would ESPN want to broadcast a team that's not top 25 anyway? Waste of their time...

I'm disappointing i won't be able to watch the whole thing live again, I hope the athletic department puts plenty of good videos on youtube at least.

I caught it. Thought it needed some embellishment. Thought my post was hyperbole enough without an emoticon. Guess I lost my lure!

Wait so there is no husky vision? or live stream on Youtube? Your telling me they can't run a goshdarn fiber line attached to a camera? Do we not have the technical skill for this in our IT programs?

What a joke.

Also, from that link above, looks like ESPN3 will be streaming two midnight madness events tomorrow night: Harvard and Mercer.

Did UConn just opt out of that this year? I'm confused.

It's strange because as of a week or so ago UConn's first night was listed on the upcoming events in ESPN3.

The athletic department has really upped it's game so I doubt this is a UConn fail. More than likely ESPN has decided to change the first night approach and is locking out the streaming. We'll have to wait until 10/23 to see snippets of the UConn first night is my guess.

FWIW, UConn's first three games are now listed on ESPN3's upcoming schedule and they weren't a week ago.

That means all the SNY games will be on WatchESPN. Thank god.

I thought the same thing, but it was last year's event.

Good to hear that the SNY thing is sorted out.
