Men UConn & 2022 Big East Baseball Tourney@Prasco Park, Mason Ohio > Championship Game **UConn vs. Xavier on Sunday @ Noon** Game on FS2/Mixlr/97-9 ESPN

[Bomber36]

You continue to diminish the level of play in the Big East. Having seen both Creighton and Xavier play this year I dispute that.

Even G-Town finished pretty strong and got over 30 wins.

 

[Bomber36]

He must be losing it after the 27-8 thumping Creighton took last night. Maybe they should just drop baseball.

Don't know if this has been posted but noon game today is on FS2, not Flo.

Is it double elimination? Or do Huskies have to lose twice today?

Xavier would have to win twice today…

UConn has to win once…just covering all the bases. Lol

This is a bad job by the Big East not to get this on FS1

Potato, potato.

I'll bite.

What's the difference between FS1 and FS2 for coverage? How many fans who would have wanted to watch the game are shut out by it being on FS2?

Many systems carry FS1 on basic and FS2 is a separate pay tier

To take it even further I can't even get FS2 on the sports package I have with Comcast

Finally, the ratings on FS2 are friends and family.

There's no difference really, less people get FS2 but it's not a significant number (90 million for FS1 vs 58 million for FS2). So at most 1/3 of the people are being shut out, and I'd guess the vast majority of that number are people actively choosing to not get a sports package so wouldn't be watching anyway

In addition, including the 2010 season, UConn has been in 7 of the last 11 NCAA baseball tournaments, so the Huskies are looking to make it 8 out of the last 12 today. Not bad at all.

UConn baseball has made the NCAA Tournament the following seasons under Coach Penders:

2010
2011
2013
2016
2018
2019
2021

Love the assumptions here:

32 million people are not significant

Of those people, there are no people that like sports but maybe can't afford the 10-12 bucks a month those packages charge.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Decent point, but a good reception by FS2 viewers will show FOX what a diamond they have with UConn.

Top 1st, after a leadoff single, Stefanoni comes up with a scoreless inning recording 3 straight outs.

Welcome back…

Even under normal circumstances Xavier starting pitchers don't go long into games. With them playing their fourth game in this tournament, can't imagine what will go on with their pitching today.

Lead off hbp followed by a steal.

XU pitcher only has 12 IP this year.
