I'm still not seeing a link to the online streaming for this game on the athletics website and I know it isn't televised. I think it will be a travesty if this game is not available as part of the All-Access coverage. Someone please tell me we'll be able to watch this game without making the trip to Amherst.

Who do we contact to find out what the real story is?
This is the most enjoyable losing season ever!

Still not sure how I feel about this one. Not confident (yet), but not nervous either.

Has UMass confirmed students are free? I know they said Saturday they wanted 2K students so I would assume we are.

PS: DUQ game notes are up. http://www.goduquesne.com/sports/m-bask ... 12aac.html

It has the names of their radio guys listed: Ray Goss (play-by-play), Jarrett Durham, and Greg Linnelli (the young guy)...just in case you might need them :wink:

Goss wrote a book appropriately titled "Misadventures in Broadcasting"

Another PS: UMass has video streaming of the game listed as "FREE" on their webcasts page. http://www.umassathletics.com/ot/webcasts.html

I believe Chazz had 9 assists to 1 turnover recently.

I don't think we're sure yet that it won't be televised. And since TV coverage dictates the availability of streaming video, that's why we don't know that either.

I'll see if I can get an official word later today, but I bet the powers that be are working on it as we speak.

^ Radio guys said on the post game show Saturday that there would be on TV tomorrow night.

I wish we ordered tickets for this game, but i do think its gonna be on TV or at least a stream on firstrowsports. Chaz needs to stay under control, Umass needs to do the usual thing at home and dominate the other team. Jesse, Vinson, and putney NEED to show up

I just bought 4 tickets via 866-UMASSTIX. Sounds like business is brisk as the kid said get there early for Will Call line. Will try to get to UPub in Campus Center pre game to wet my whistle with draft beers. BELIEVE!

I was really hoping for an 8 O'Clock start for this game so I could go but that wasn't in the cards...If they could get this game on TV it would be huge.

The easiest way is to order tickets online and print them out. That way you don't have to deal with a potential clusterf**k at Will Call.

^
In a way, it's really good to see complaints about having to wait in line to get tickets. I think the crowd helped us get the wins over St. Louis and RI, especially the student section which was packed for both games.

Just locked in my tickets... I don't know my log-in information, so I had to do it over the phone and will be dealing with Will Call, which is fine. I get there early enough most games anyways!

Everything needed to order and print tickets in advance was provided in the mailing...

Account number (which is on your tickets if you're a season ticket holder) or email address to log in and your password (printed in the mailing if you don't remember it).

Couldn't be any easier.

Yes, season ticketholders who want their usual seats need to log on their user ID and password. (I stashed mine near my computer so I always have them on hand.) But I think anybody who orders tickets online can print them out.
