Schedule???

[slug25]

Don’t we usually know by now? I need to plan a Florida trip to see us play USF or UCF.

I think that, last year, it was released around September 13th.

Is it really so that virtually the whole month of January is off?

You are correct. The 2017-2018 UConn women's BB schedule was released on Sept 13, 2017. If the timing is similar for the "finalized" schedule this year, the complete 2018-2019 schedule should be released by the end of THIS week.

UConn (and all of the other AAC conference members) must wait until the AAC Conference Headquarters finalizes and releases the schedule for conference games which THEY schedule. I just checked (2:02 pm edt) the AAC conference main website, nothing posted yet for 2018-2019.

Thanks for checking. I like to wait until times and TV channels are finalized before I print the schedule out.

The one on the site still needs AAC games to be added to it

A well, also waiting for the schedule that has the TV coverage listed - - anyone know when that might be out?

 

[Mlb0814]

AAC twitter page said to watch tomorrow for the unveiling of the schedule.

 

[chrissaran]

RockyMTblue2, they want to know the conference schedule. They said they were planning a trip to Florida and wanted to see UConn play either USF or UCF. The conference schedule is not out yet.

It's Out...

Huskies Release Full 2018-19 Women’s Hoops Schedule - UConn Huskies | University of Connecticut Athletics

All games televised on SNY will be available live on ESPN3 for those who live outside the SNY broadcast footprint.

I take it when they say ESPN3 they really mean new pay scam ESPN+ for those of us without SNY.

While I feel your pain, it does cost a small fortune to provide a full crew and equipment to broadcast a live basketball game. ESPN is not a 501(c)3 corporation.

ESPN is not hurting for revenue and already get a large portion of the money I donate to DirectTV every month. All they did was take already free content and slap a pricetag on it while proclaiming they are giving you something special and new which is inaccurate.

Also, the UConn games in question are simply SNY feeds. ESPN doesn't have to send any crew or equipment.

I have been able to watch NCAA Football on Watch ESPN / ESPN3 without buying a membership or what ever... OR, is it different for BB ??

I'm not sure what all is free and what is ESPN+, but they have left a few sporting events in the free zone. I'm not holding my breath that UConn games will be among them, but I'd love to be happily surprised.

The NCAA FB games I've watched have been some "big name" teams (Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State...) so perhaps UCONN WBB still ok.. we'll see, but then again, the cost for ESPN+ account is only $4.99 per month from what I've found; to see our Team play it will be well worth it!

I believe ESPN3 or ESPN 360 is free. ESPN+ is the new addition to pick up additional games with some sort of subscription.

If this is correct maybe there is hope. Perhaps Jim Fuller or Carl Adamec can look into this for us non SNY/east coast types.


Not all ESPN3 games are moving over to ESPN+. It looks like it’s based on whether the conference signs up for ESPN+. For now we can confirm the following college conferences have agreed to move to ESPN+: America East, ASun, Big South, Big West, Horizon, Ivy League, MAAC, MAC, MEAC, Missouri Valley, NEC, Southern Conference, Southland, Summit League, Sun Belt, and the WAC.

Point taken.

Just wondered why you haven't added the sports package to your DirecTV subscription as I have. It's only a few bucks a month and you can cancel after the season.
