Well, they don't shoot it well including from the FT line. At least they haven't to start the year.......Definitely a game that if we take care of the ball and shoot it reasonably well, we should win.

I'm not paying for ESPN+ for one game.
Looked at the total schedule for Div 1 on Thursday night on ESPN's site.
Every game except one is on ESPN+. Purdue/Penn State is on FS1.
We are the only other power conference game that night. Wonder why we couldn't get on ESPN, ESPN2 or FS2.
Football is on Prime video.

My twins are 5, I have plus with the Disney bundle. That said, I have twins and zero ability to watch sports live.

Our TO's must drop.

We need this game to get back on track. We are certainly due to light it up from 3 at some point

[Section 200]

ESPN makes the fans of their conference partners buy ESPN+ to watch most games. Assuming I counted right, 16 UC games are on ESPN+ including the Shootout, Baylor, Kansas, West Virginia, etc.

Is there no other way to watch this game? Only source is ESPN+

Just win please.

[Xville]

can't lose this game, just can't. They suck, and X needs a non-con road win even if its against a crap opponent.
