Is it a home and home game or just a buy game for TCU?

Maybe the thread title should be edited to include that information.

I think any game on MASN is also on espn plus. It’s because it’s Learfield tv and both pick up the feed. Could be wrong though.

They lost to a super mediocre Clemson team (that just got done losing to Yale), and squeeked by a decidedly "meh" UC irvine team.

KenPom has them at 67 and us at 113, but I think we could get them, even on the road. Wouldn't shock me to see us get them (and would love it especially if Mr. Grayer is in the crowd).

Concur - I still think we have to play a full 40 minutes - but if we do win - it will boost our ranking considerably and would be a great way to go into the vcu game.

I watched the UMBC game on ESPN+ but I’m also not in MASN’s range so there maybe a blackout radius.

ditto- no clue if there is a blackout radius

Stupid game isn't listed on ESPN +

I’m not seeing it on mine either. Looks like Fox Sports SW picked up the game too, but that doesn’t make it out to Arizona either, so I don’t know.

Looks like it’s time to look for an illegal feed.

yeah I was mistaken. Anything that Mason hosts that’s on masn is most likely espn plus bc it’s a Learfield feed. Since they are on the road it’s whatever TCUs feed decides, which could include MASN as a regional station but it’ll have Big12/TCU announcers most likely.

Looks like for the nyc area msg plus is picking up the game Monday night.

TCU owns the broadcast rights, since it's a TCU home game. They sold the game to Fox Sports Southwest. MASN is presumably buying the Fox Sports Southwest feed. Learfield would not be involved.

KenPom gives us almost identical odds to beating Dayton on the road last season - and we won that one.

yeah, you missed where I basically said this haha

A quick search reveals that Fox Sports SW is available via Hulu and Fubo. Perhaps find a way to proxy through Texas and enroll in a Hulu or Fubo free trial. It's only a theory, but it could work, no? Does anyone know enough regarding such a procedure? If so, give me an assist and pass along viable instructions on where to find a safe proxy server.

Looks like MSG Network is picking up the game for those with access to that channel

I subscribe to the regional sports channel package on DirecTV, and it now looks our game is being picked up by MSG+, MASN2, FSSO, SUN+, FSSL+, FSOH, FSCIN, FSDT+, FSNOR, FSOK, FSSW, PTHD and FSSD.
