I just noticed that the game, an AAC conference game, is 1) at 4:00 p.m., and 2) not on TV. There is no excuse for the AAC not to ensure better distribution of its content, or more fan-friendly tiptimes.

These issues are so important that it would be worth money leaving some money on the table to remedy them.

I show ESPN+ on the app.

That's not TV; you need computer to watch. I understand you can stream, but the point is that it is not part of a basic cable package.

You don't need a computer to watch. You just need ESPN+. I watch it on my tv.

4pm doesn't bother me. And the distribution was well known when they signed the new TV deal. The distribution is easy to find. The hardware needed is inexpensive. It also isn't just an AAC thing, B12 and SEC also has games online only.

UCF just beat Florida St. on the road.

I fear that we're going to get to see what the inside of our colons looks like.

And somehow the Bearcats are favored today?????

People miss the times when Fox Network primetime programing would get the "Bearcat Bounce." Times change. More and more content is moving to streaming services.

A must win game. Have to win this and next one against Tulsa just to get back to a respectable place. Time for the players and coaches to go all out with effort.

Call me names, don’t know if will i watch or listen tonight. More interested in the UCF-BYU bowl game.

Can't blame you after the way they played on Saturday.

For me, I wish everything was on ESPN+. I remember having to buy the next tier Cincinnati Bell package to have CBS Sports Network available, which was much more than $5/month.

I've watched ESPN+ a lot, but never on my computer.

I think large part of fan base that not only miss how easy it was to flip on fox 19 for the game but the quality of team that was associated with that era of Bearcat basketball.

Right now ESPN+ and streaming is going to be associated with losing and bad basketball unless things turn around this year.

.

ESPN+ is how sports content is the near future. Within a couple years that is going to most schools not named Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, etc.

Same here. I have seen enough games to know we suck.

I think the issue is not everyone/everywhere has really strong wi-fi to pick it up whether on a computer or a smart tv. If not, time to head to the bar.

What's the over/under we shoot better than 25% from 3?

Watch on your phone...that way if they stink again you can just play candy crush or something less cruddy instead.

Or for 3 straight games for that matter.

I think this one will look a lot less like 2 monkeys trying to **** a football than Saturday was. So there is that.

Lol - the first thing I thought of when I saw this title was the UCF/BYU bowl game which should be a great game. I'll be glued into that for sure. Based upon the other responses in the thread it sounds like we are actually playing UCF in basketball too.
