Virginia has Nova in Philly this weekend on national TV - let's hope they are looking forward a bit.

And the ACC does not have a regular season champ - Tourney winner is the champ which is part of why that win a two years ago was so stinking glorious!

FSU game was on WatchESPN, so this one should be as long as there's not some obscure blackout rule.

Are they trying to get the ACC Network on to more cable packages? Or do we keep getting put there because this was all done pre-season when there were low expectations for ND? Anyone know?

I was surprised to find the ACC Network stuff is carried by an off-brand broadcast station here in Southern Indiana.

EDIT: I can get it with an antenna.

I've seen games that have been listed on ACCN on ESPN before. I'm sure this is all scheduled prior to the season.

I'd also like to add that most of our players and players that we recruit the hardest are from the East coast, so ACC country. If ACCN is anything like BTN then most cable packages probably carry ACCN.

East coasters confirm?

ACCN is crap - Can't be good for recruiting to be constantly on some obscure channel or have to watch on an iPad when you are the premier game at that time slot and a bunch of second tier garbage is on 206 and 209 (DTV). Not to mention how hard it is to record the games when you aren't sure which channel it is on (I usually see ten channels with the game listed and all but one will be blacked out - good luck guessing that one right). Yeah I can watch a replay online but FFWD and quality suck.

I'm going to be pissed if I can't watch this game on ESPN tonight.

Maybe I this belongs in the Grinds your Gears thread more than MBB thread?

A little more detail on this, but it looks like this was the plan. From the first link:

All 135 ACC regular-season league games and all 14 games of the New York Life ACC Tournament will be available on an ESPN network, the ACC Network, ACC Network Extra, CBS or Regional Sports Networks (RSN).

Fans will be able to view 84 home nonconference games solely via ACC Network Extra, which was unveiled in July. In addition to that exclusive content, all games carried on an ESPN platform, the ACC Network or RSN will also be available via ACC Network Extra or the WatchESPN app.

..............

Each of the ACC controlled regular-season games in 2016-17, with the exception of the CBS telecasts, will be available through WatchESPN, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 or Xbox One to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.

Good news is Beachem is involved and looking for his shot. Bad news is he's not been close to making anything.

First half the game definitely played out the way UVA wanted it to, but only down one after a terrible half. Make some halftime adjustments come out hot in the second half and should be able to finally get past Virginia.

Strong finish to the half led by Bonzie. Hopefully those good looks start going down for VJ. Really like what Rex did on Perrantes except for when he got tripped up in the lane.

Beachum needs to sit. Looks like he is sleepwalking out there.
(As he gets his first points... an and 1)

Geben's athletic ability is so bad it is laughable. Also, just because you're playing zone that doesn't mean you should give up wide open shots at the free throw line.

They look so much more comfortable shooting in our arena than we do. So tentative. We need another player that can create their own shot.

And VJ needs to sit - badly.
He really does. That loose ball the ended in the jump ball should have been his but he just slapped at the ball instead of grabbing it. Lead to a huge 3. When he's not scoring he just checks out mentally.

Don't think Coach did VJ any favors by not sitting him down early and just letting him compose himself. We are playing like we were intimidated. We are even missing free throws!

Game over.

The team forgot how to make a free throw and no one can rebound for shit. They'll get bounced in the 2nd round. I shouldn't be surprised though, Notre Dame athletics never seem to win the big games.

Virginia whines more than any team I have seen in a long time.
