You must live quite aways northeast of Green. I have a relative who lives right in the middle of Green and it's like a 35 min drive. Either than or you drive VERY fast. Tallmadge is a 20 min drive.

Why are we the only MAC game not on ESPN3? This was the same thing that happened when we played at Kent in the MAC tournament.

Kent State has its own broadcasting network. They do not participate with ESPN3 in any of its home games.

Thanks for the info! Their feed is terrible, but this a winnable road game for us.

Yeah, well their broadcasting network blows. This feed sucks balls compared to what we've grown accustomed to with ESPN3.

I"m no fan of our ESPN deal, and I'm not a fan of how ESPN3 still ties people into cable subscriptions. But it's undeniable that, at least for me, this feed in a browser sucks ass compared to watching ESPN3 on my TV...

Very bad start for both teams. Let's just keep it close and hopefully win it at the end

Hammb, I'm not sure if it's the same now with Spectrum but if you had Time Warner you could get a basic cable subscription. No DVR no HD box. When you get a DVR or HD box as soon as you cancel your subscription for some reason it deletes you from the database however if you just do a basic subscription regular channels no HD no boxes and cancel after one month for some reason they do not update their database and you can still sign on to ESPN3. It may have changed now that is Spectrum but I'm not sure. That's what I did years ago before ESPN3 was recognized under Direct TV.

Matt Fox with two straight 3-pointers. That's all we need out of him. If he can give us six points off the bench and give somebody a four minute breather that's fine. Need no more out of him

Interesting game...I've got a DirecTV subscription so not an issue for me these days. But before they signed with ESPN3, I was really hating on the ESPN3 model. Still Not a huge fan in trying to tie online streaming services to your ISP/Cable Provider. It should be a service you can subscribe to on your own.

But at this point I've got ESPN3, and the point stands. It does provide a high quality feed that is easily viewable through any streaming devices. Comparitively this KSU feed sucks.

But the team is playing pretty well thus far.

We need to maintain at least a six-point lead going into halftime.
