[SoFla Steve]

Thanks for the link. I created an account and paid for the game as well. Apparently you have to sign in and under the heading "Your Account" you can view your subscriptions.

This is what shows up for me:

I take it that it becomes an active subscription some time on October 28th. But there is no explanation that explains this or how to access the game via that link. Do you have any idea how it will work?

I think the university could provide more information about UConn+ and how everything works if they want this medium to be successful. I had to hunt a while to find that link. It seems to me that the process could have been better advertised and explained.

This is my first time watching a paid game on UConn+. I believe all you have to do is log into your account and you should have access. Others have expressed the same concerns I have -- how does it work; will there be glitches. I wonder if I have to watch the game on a computer or will UConn+ give me access on my smart TV/Firestick. I watched The Wax production on UConn+. It wasn't bad, but it didn't bolster my confidence, either.

 

[Palatine]

I'll pay. If I was going out it would cost a lot more. Hell, a large latte at Starbucks is $7.

The prior game was on the app, gratis, and the broadcast was fine. I'm disappointed it's not in HD but none of our games are.

What do you mean by that last comment? All UConn games are in HD. You mean on UConn+?

I paid and received an email confirmation, but I don't see it as a video event on UConn+

Same. How hard would it have been to provide a link (or instructions on HOW to watch) in the email confirmation. So freakin' clunky.

I looked at UConn+ this morning and the game is there now as video

It’s showing up as an upcoming video live event beginning 7PM on the UConn+ app on my Roku and my mobile device. I have no way of knowing if the sign in and payment process I did on my computer is recognized on my Roku app.

Edit: Can also get it on my computer.

 

[ArizonaHsky]

I assume there is a radio broadcast of the game also, I hope.

Yes. There is an audio broadcast on UConn+ that is free.

 

[87Xfer]

Given the login gymnastics I had to do to pay via Sidearm sports and uconnhuskies.com, I'm expecting some issues logging in to watch this

 

[ctchamps]

The following steps will help you navigate how to watch the game on your computer.

If you have created a sign in and made a payment through this link:

Huskies All-Access - Powered by SIDEARM Showcase - University of Connecticut Athletics

clicking it again you will show you your one day subscription is now activated . (Step 1)

Click the Husky logo and the words "Huskies All-Access" on the upper left. That will bring you to uconnhuskies.com web site. (Step 2)

Click the box with UCONN + on the upper left. (Step 3)

In the upper bar click the calendar symbol (the symbol closest to the Husky logo of the five symbols to the right of the logo) and that will bring up the calendar of UConn sports. Go to October 28th on the calendar and click on the mens bb (ball icon MBB) and that will bring you to the event and the box to watch the game.

For an iphone follow the first three steps which will bring you to two boxes under the UConn heading. The box on the left (red) is highlighted "Stories". Click the right non highlighted box which has the word UConn+. It will turn pink after clicking it.

That will bring you to a new screen. Scroll down to Huskies Schedule and you will see the game listed. Don't know what happens after this because clicking on it currently does nothing. I imagine when it's 7 PM clicking it will bring you to the game.

The UConn+ app on Roku shows the game will be available for both video and audio. I have no idea if my subscription will allow me to activate it on the Roku. Keeping my fingers crossed.

hey all, quick q -
not really a bball follower but i like uconn.
seeing as how this is an exhibition, does that mean there are zero consequences for either team losing?

or does this still carry some weight/risk to it?

All of that to watch an Exhibition game on a laptop? It would be so much easier to just turn on the TV and watch on FS1.

Just to confirm. If you live outside CT, the WFSB + plus app wont have the game?

STORRS, Conn. (WFSB) - The UConn athletics department and WFSB have announced that the men’s basketball exhibition contest against Michigan State on Tuesday, Oct. 28 in Hartford will air locally on WFSB Channel 3.

The game will also be available streaming on UConn+ for a one-time fee of $7.99. Coverage will begin at 7 p.m. with the new WFSB/WWAX UConn Basketball pregame show before a scheduled tip of 7:30 p.m.

No idea.

No, it doesn't matter one bit who wins or loses.

Doesn't seem like it, not on the schedule.

Can this be circumvented using a VPN?

If you have a streaming service that gets the channel in CT but you live elsewhere, you can probably VPN into it (assuming your streaming service of choice doesn't successfully block VPNs).

I just opened my Roku homepage and did a search for WFSB+. All set. I think.

 

[HailUConn]

Just be thankful it's not on the Wax. My god that was a poop show with a regular season football game.

What’s Wax? Is it from Brazil?

No consequences. It's like a preseason NFL game except both teams are legitimately trying to win (while not risking injury and getting as many players as possible playing time).

 

[Frank06830]

You can download the WFSB app and get the game live streamed for free. Downloaded yesterday to check out and broadcast live streamed for the channel came right up.

I have a 24" desktop computer in the spare bedroom. It's pretty decent way to watch.
