@CMJhow big would you say this game is? Like in world history terms.

Biggest game in the History of Western Civilization.

As a side note, even just a handful of years ago every single game of the NIT was on either ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU.  It really sucks now that about half of them are on ESPN+.

Easier for many to watch at least.

Every game but two were on ESPN plus today. It’s a great service most people have bundled with their tv service (Hulu).

@CMJ if we best Virginia does that mean the team gets to go to play in the Garden?

[Andrew]

Espn website still hasn’t caught up. Still showing Friday…. Not what UNT has reported.

Disney has invested millions of dollars to have as much content on ESPN+ as possible. If you don’t remember ESPN was losing subscribers at an alarming rate causing Disney to shake up the company.

We'd have to win Round 3 to #GiveItToGuyton #GetToTheGarden.

No. That’s the final 4. We would most likely go play OU in Norman Win that and we go to MSG.

We play Russia. You’ll love it.

I have seen three different days and times…. I am assuming the ticket office has it correct though. 

[CMJ]

I'm waiting for the NIIT bracket to be fixed on their website, but until then I'd trust our ticket office.

Random thought: since ESPN+ is strictly just digital streaming, I wonder if we're seeing the parent network just dump everything they can over to ESPN+ (away from ESPN/2/U) because it's less infrastructure/overhead to worry about/budget for.

If he says Sunday at 5pm then it'll be Sunday at 5pm.

[CMJ]

Four games on TV and four on ESPN+

After we win we will play either 0U (in Norman) or St Bonaventure (here) depending on who wins their game.  After that then off to NYC
