Texas A&M at DePaul is being played tonight. A GREAT opening night matchup. As far as I can tell, there is no TV coverage. What a shame.

Fox, which I think owns BE TV rights, has NASCAR on FS1, and a meaningless Lehigh at Villanova men's game on FS2.

There appear to be far more WCBB games on TV this year, but there is still a looooooong way to go.

Does anyone know of any streaming internet coverage of this game?

There are actually more games even than that on.

But no aTm at DePaul evidently.

Thanks. If you install the Fox Sports Go app on your tablet, it looks like the game is on for free. I don't know if this is another "participating provider" deal or not, and if so, if my DirecTV gets me access. Guess I'll find out tonight. There's also an SJU game listed on the 20th by the way.

I'm pretty sure all the preseason WNIT games are on ESPN3. Mercer has been promoting the chance to see the Teddy Bears at Mississippi St tonight on that platform.

According to the ESPN schedule, the Mercer - Miss St game is on SECN+, not ESPN3. SECN+ is also available on the WatchESPN app, but is available to fewer people than ESPN3. ESPN3 access is based on your ISP, so I get it through Verizon. SECN+ is like the rest of the WatchESPN channels in that access is based on your cable company, so I don't get it through DirecTV.

Here's what I see listed for ESPN3 tonight:

5:00 PM EST Siena vs. Buffalo (W Basketball)

5:30 PM EST Bethune-Cookman vs. Stetson (W Basketball)

6:00 PM EST Charlotte vs. Liberty (W Basketball)

6:00 PM EST Illinois State vs. Northern Illinois (W Basketball)

7:00 PM EST College of Charleston vs. Kennesaw State (W Basketball)

7:00 PM EST UAB vs. Florida State (W Basketball)

7:00 PM EST Toledo vs. Cleveland State (W Basketball)

7:00 PM EST George Washington vs. Florida Gulf Coast (W Basketball)

8:00 PM EST Bradley vs. Illinois-Chicago (W Basketball)

10:00 PM EST #1 Connecticut vs. UC Davis (W Basketball)

I see one more money grubbing zinger this year.

IIRC last year you could watch lots of basketball games on BTN2Go as long as you had a participating provider that provided you access.

This year it looks like all basketball games (M&W) are locked out of standard BTN2Go and are only available if you pay $120 for a Plus subscription.

Squeeze every dime you can out of fans, Delaney. I guess you'd prefer that hardly anyone watches your teams play.

Mercer vs Mississippi State is listed on WatchESPN as SEC Network+ . Time-Warner and Direct TV customers are not authorized to watch .

BTW, tonight's game between Notre Dame and UMass Lowell at 6PM (and all home games not otherwise broadcast on TV) is available on http://watchnd.tv and on the WatchND app.

And they are all FREE.

Take a hint, Delany.

I finally found a game listed on my DISH system today at 8 Eastern on the Fox alternate channels - Washington at Oklahoma.

This is the time of year it always pisses me off that ESPN thinks everyone has access to ESPN3. grrr. Twisted Evil

No, they know not everyone does. They want those who don't to call and scream at their cable/satellite company to pay ESPN to provide access.
They put good games on ESPN3 on purpose to create demand.

Why don't you have access to ESPN3 ? Dish is an authorized provider for SEC Network and SEC Network+ on WatchESPN . I assumed you could also get ESPN3 . Do you live outside the United States ? Or just don't have the internet speed for streaming ?

I think I'll need the live updates. Looks like DirecTV (and several large cable companies) don't provide FoxSportsGo access.

Good luck to DePaul.

Will be interesting to see how many people are there. I'm not going and neither are five of my friends that go. A co-worker and his family aren't going (they have obligations to high school football).

There is a football pep session that starts at 5:45 in the Compton Center (300 yards from the Joyce and sharing parking lots), so parking will be a mess. There is a men's bball game after the women are done, so leaving will be a mess. Add in that SB had a foot of snow yesterday and really wasn't ready for it (trucks were outfitted for picking up leaves).

thanks for saying that. Last year DISH was not on the list when I went to ESPN3 - but this year they are! Very Happy Of course DISH limits how much I can download, but at least this way I can get some peeks into games that I'm really interested in...

Add Cablevision to the excluded list. Evil or Very Mad
