FINAL- Bradley 63 University of South Florida 82

[LittleBrave]

I think this will be a good litmus test for this team. If we win, I think we will be better in a "statistically significant" matter. We started out 3-0 against the creampuffs last year as well. A win against a better (albeit not entirely special) USF team would certainly indicate that we are an improved team.

I don't necessarily need another road win to see that this team is improved. I think we showed it last game, and even to some degree in the first 2 games at home.
It would be nice to see us be competitive and keep the score close. A win would be HUGE, but not expected, as USF will be pretty hungry to come back and win this one.
What I'm hoping for is to enter the game vs. Michigan at 5-1.

It looks as if streaming is available through USF at $10.95 for a 1 month package. No single game purchase.

I, for one, am quite annoyed at this. Their provider is the same as ours (Nuelion, nmnathletics), so I don't see why the game can't be provided to us as well if we have purchased a package from BUtv. I've emailed them expressing my displeasure, but I suspect they will not care. At least they should give us a discount code!

I think this game should have been on tv over the iupui game. Not saying an espn game but maybe the NBC sports network channel.

Here are the links to the webcasts of the Bradley women's and men's games tonight at USF-

as noted, they don't have an option for buying the single event, only a 1-month subscription for $10.95, as well as a 4-month and 12-month subscription options.

Note- if you buy the one month subscription, beware that they might auto-renew you at the end of each month and continue to charge your credit card every month. A couple years ago, I purchased one of these 1-month subscriptions for a NeuLion/nmnathletics package, and I paid several extra months before I noticed it automatically kept renewing. I was told that is the default setting for this system. Maybe it's changed, but beware.

Just got an email from Nuelion, concerning my question as to why we did not have this game as part of our package. Here was their response:

"All universities are there (their) own separate service and at NeuLion we only offer the platform and support for the product they offer. Purchasing a subscription through one university will not grant you access through another university.

We do not control the content offered by either Bradley or USF and you would need to contact them directly for more information on why a specific game is not available."

However, I just went to my BUtv subscription. It now shows the game as available with your paid package, and it has a funny little "HD" link, something I have never seen before. Looks like someone was paying attention, despite their canned comment!

[Da Coach]

Yes, it is now listed as available from Bradley- note that the women's game has already started

Mine's working tonight.

Did you have to do anything out of the ordinary? Mines still got nothing.

No....haven't changed anything all season. It worked for the first game and not the second game. Seems to be ok so far tonight.
