Yeah, I’d dearly like to see these games too. However, I believe we will handle UCLA quite handily. I just don’t think they are a legit #3 team. I’d have to put them somewhere between 5 & 10. They certainly aren’t in the same class as South Carolina. Sure, they have Betts, a potential problem in the frontcourt but Geno has successfully dealt with bigs his entire career.
As for their vaunted backcourt, Rice and Osbourne, I just don’t think (unless they have some sort of “can’t miss” day) they will be able to score enough points to hang with us. Neither are high percentage, efficient scorers and I think we simply have way too much firepower on our team. I think Paige, Azzi, Caroline, & Aubrey will just be too much for them to handle.

Azzi will not be playing
 
As you may know, The 2 UCONN games on Friday and Saturday are televised only by Flo-Hoops.

I still have not heard of any Connecticut Sport Bars carrying the games. Does anyone know of
any?

Villanova partners with FloSports Streaming for 2023-24 Season - Villanova University

VILLANOVA, Pa. – Villanova University Athletics will once again partner with leading sports streaming service FloSports as the home of Villanova Sports Network on
villanova.com villanova.com
Even if you already have a Flo account (like I do), I was able to resume my subscription with the conference price of $14.99/month. So half off.

Hope that helps!

I am 80 years old with a fixed income so I would certainly appreciate a half off way to watch the Huskies in the Caymans. I don't understand how the Villanova connection let's me get that discount. Could you please be kind enough to very clearly give us a step by step procedure for achieving this? I, for one would be very grateful!

When you sign up, you aren’t signing up for just an event, you’re signing up to have access to the entire platform. Just like you have to sign up for all of Netflix and you and pay to just watch The Crown. When Villanova announced their partnership with Flo in August, they had a discount link that encouraged their fans to sign up and watch.

Step one: Click link
Step two: Click sign up link at the top of the article
Step three: Sign up
Step four: While signing up, make sure to change the billing preference from yearly (one lump sum) to monthly. When you do that, you should see the discounted $14.99/month price.
Step five: Watch basketball
Step six: Make a note to yourself to cancel so you aren’t charged $14.99 again next month.

If you can’t figure it out, do you have a kid or grandkid who can come over and do it for you? It isn’t complicated for people who are a little more digitally savvy. My mom, who is just a touch younger than you, figured it out, so I think you can do it, too.
 
So, I live in South Carolina (right outside Charlotte.) Our local watering hole has several TV's and I called yesterday to see if they had FloHopps and they DO! So, I told them what I wanted to watch and they guy says "You're kidding, right?"

LOL. I guess he's not a fan of women's basketball.

Argonaut, thanks so much for all the info, just signed up for the monthly subscription and received the discount . Pretty good deal to watch, hopefully two really good games by our women.

Thank you very much! I will definitely give it a try.

Thanks for the link. I did check on it, however I wanted to subscribe under my ITunes account. So I’ll just go with that. $30. For 2 games and whatever other games they have for the month is ok with me. I can turn it on and then turn it off without using credit card.
I appreciate the help with all the different ways of watching UConn WBB this year. I’m a former YouTube TV subscriber, who lost SNY.

Uh oh....I got to Step 3 at Flohoops and it offered a plan for "Conference Special Pricing" for $8.33 a month and then I couldn't find any other option. Would that option work or, if not, how do I get other options?

I just bit the bullet and signed up for 1 month subscription for $29.99 + taxes ($31.89 CT) and cancelled it again a few days afterwards. I watched Marquette beat then #23 Illinois Nov 11th...so I'm good till Dec 11th.
Expand ...
I did too. Signed up today through ITunes on Apple. I figured it would be easier to cancel that way. I’m watching a men’s BB game right now. So far so good. It kinda reminds me of when ESPN+ first started. The quality so far is better. I did have Flo Sports a couple of years ago for an away tournament. It seems to have improved.

On mine to the right of that was another box for the $14.xx a month option ( in smaller print under the $ 8.33 option it had billed annually and showed annual cost, under $14.xx option it had billed monthly and showed monthly cost). Hopefully that helps.

My biggest frustration last year when Vandy's Cayman Island games were shown on Flo Sports was that there also was no radio broadcast. The announcers had said days earlier that the games would be broadcast, but it turned out they were not. I wonder if Flo Sports' proprietary rights preclude even radio. I never found out the reason. Could have just been technical difficulties.

Vandy plays in Vegas on Flo Sports Friday and Saturday. They have a game today, so I'm sure I'll hear the radio guys say whether they will be there. I can be happy enough just listening for a couple games.

You didn’t make it to step four, which was switch to the monthly billing plan. It’s $8.33/month if you pay $99.99 up front for the entire year. I did all of this on my phone, so I’m not sure where it is on a computer.
 
I posted on another thread, but I found a link on a Villanova release from August with a $14.99 monthly rate… so half off.

Good suggestion. I didn't realize it was included with some cable packages.

Unfortunately, mine jumps right from ESPNU to the Food Network. :(

I think this is my most brilliant idea ever! I need 9 other Boneyarders to meet me at a local basketball court gametime Friday. We will use the play by play provided by the stats program and recreate the game minute for minute. We will stream this live to youtube. So while you won't actually be watching the game, you get the next best thing! A live real time simulation that shows all the action exactly as it is happening in the Cayman Islands. If you have your own player jersey then you can be that player. Otherwise everyone else will fill in the the rest of the UConn team first and the opponent second. If we pull this off, I think we can turn this into a massive sports and media empire. Who's in?!?!?!?!?!?!?

As the Holiday Tournament season arrives we find two UConn games exclusively on Flo Hoops. Apparently they learned that most of us used the $12.99 a month package and the cancelled. Well! They’re on to us! Monthly rate is now 29.99.

I would happily pay $15 for each game. But " disengaging" from the service is like dealing with a telemarketing service in Russia. You can't reach them and the instructions/language are insane.

Paige is too much for anyone to handle. AZZI likely wont be playing. Caroline is still " way off " from her game, and Aubrey is back to her freshman mentality when it comes to shooting the damn ball. UCLA has some fabulous young players. They may not rate a number 3 ranking, but they are going to be a tough out. More so, as the year progresses.
 
Blueballer said:
Easy solution to that. Tell them to get lost and if nobody pays it the price will drop.

The better choice would be to have some normal operation buy the rights to the games. It isn't the monthly price, it is the subterfuge involved in getting dis-engaged from the service. I only care about UCONN, not Villanova vs Georgia.

They’ve actually made it a lot easier to cancel! It’s in a logical place in your account settings and doesn’t involve sending an email or talking to anyone.

Be careful with that cancel thing. I took the cheaper $8.99 a month thing assuming I could just hit the cancel after the games. Nope. Cancelled fine AFTER the paid for YEAR was over. That month thing is misleading. It is calculated from the year rate you are agreeing to. Maybe they have changed their sports but somehow I doubt it.
 
Is Flosports the same as Flohoops. The app that comes upon my TV is Flosports - if I sign up for that will I get Flohoops too?
