A warning: the tv-schedule in the Sports section of one of the papers up here indicates that the Duquesne vs. UConn game will begin on ESPN2 at 9:05 pm. But it indicates that ESPN2 will be presenting the remaining three games also -- with two games starting at 9:10 pm, and the last at starting 9:15 pm. Does that mean we are going to face "wrap-around" coverage after 9:00 pm tonight?

If so, we may need to fall back on our laptops, and get onto WatchESPN.

Getting around the wrap-around coverage. Use ESPN3 or watchESPN.

Yeah, the ESPN2 wraparound coverage pretty much sucks. I'll guess I'll have to wait and see what game is on here in NV. I'd guess UCLA.

DirecTV channel 788 - one of 3 ESPN's extended coverage channels lists our game in that time slot.

I have the SportPak but don't know if that's why I get these 3 channels. Recorded 2 games over the weekend on them.

I live in CA of course and have Time Warner Cable. I forget the channels, but ESPN has "alternate" channels. Since ESPN has cameras at every game, you should be able to scan the alternate channels to find the game you want to watch. So far all of them are pretty compelling except for ND - it was close early but ND up 10 on Indiana at the 10 minute mark. BUT...

FSU is up big on aTm. Maryland is down 8 at the end of the first quarter to Washington. And Kentucky and Oklahoma are in a dog fight.

Very little wrap around coverage going on in the bay area. Even with the Stanford game Saturday night, they played a different one. I've been using WatchESPN quite a bit. It hasn't seemed to be regional coverage so far. How do they decide what game you are going to see?

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

Indiana giving ND all they can handle at the moment. ND up 33-30 with about 3.5 left in the half.

Washington hanging with Maryland, aTm getting destroyed by FSU (lead was 16 when i last checked) and Kentucky up a little bit on Oklahoma...

I better be able to watch this game via the TV. It would be a total bummer to have to watch this on a tablet.

With the proper connections and/or app and/or service, you may be able to "throw" or "mirror" your tablet to your TV. Many do. Just a suggestion.

Washington has played a solid game. They certainly like to get quick shots. Terps have struggled offensively. SWK can't get going and Jones has really struggled.

What's up with wrap around coverage for the women's tournament. Everyone of the men's games was broadcast,starting with the first round games. That really stinks.

I only started watching late in the 3rd quarter, but what an amazing performance. Washington has virtually no bench. This result is probably even more shocking than DePaul over Louisville. Maryland just fizzled out.
