I just looked at the schedule and realized that the game is on CBS Sports Net, which I do not get, because, seriously. CBS Sports Net? Come on. We can't get FS1 for a Saturday night game? Might as well go back to the Esherick era at this point. Let's just fire everyone and join the Patriot League if we're going to be on CBS Sports Net.
(Any suggestions on how I can watch this without paying to up my cable subscription or trying to convince a sports bar that I am (1) not crazy for wanting to watch a random middle of the pack Big East game and (2) CBSSN is a real channel would be appreciated. Can I watch online or over a Roku or something?)

5 years ago, what percentage of our basketball games were on nation-wide? Maybe 50%, probably less.
Now that answer is 90%+, but we find time to complain about what channels they're on now.

Now the answer is 100%. In the Esherick era, very, very few games were available nationally. And, I would add that even in the 2013 era Big East, there were some Big East games only on ESPN3 - no TV.

We're Hoyas. We always have to find something about which to complain.

Yup. And that sucked. So does being on CBS Sports Net, the channel for low and mid-majors and conferences with major basketball programs that are subservient to their football teams, like UConn. It's now 2016 and we're supposed to be on Fox Sports 1. Sorry if I'm unhappy about the fact one of our conference games is on some random channel no one gets. Also, I'd like to know how to watch the game, which was the actual reason I started the thread, but hopefully everyone feels nice and superior now.

You can often do a "free" trial to CBS Sports streaming. I haven't looked into for tomorrows game but that is a solution at times. www.cbssports.com/stream

According to their FAQs it's available to 95,999,998 other people in the US as well. Go figure.

Yeah. I'd have to pay another $20 bucks a month to up my Directtv package to get CBSSN. Which is why I was asking if there was another way to watch.

I do that for Directv during the basketball season and then cancel when the college season is over. It is worth it to watch a couple games I would not otherwise see. I think you have to keep the subscription for one month.

Go to Upgrade on your Directv personal page tomorrow and upgrade to the package that carries CDSSN. Then Sunday go back to your personal page and click on Upgrade and select the lower package you now have. I believe they will only charge you for one day.

This game is a BIG DEAL
