How do you watch/stream Sunday?

B1G+ app

 

[Heartthrob MVB Fan]

BTN+ has an app so that it can viewed on smart TVs (or a computer if preferred) - roughly $15/month which would give you access to all schools (all sports). The matches are also uploaded and stored for viewing at a later time (usually within hours of completion). You can go to a match @ the RAC, come home, & likely pull up another BTN match that occurred at the same time.

Notes:
* If you are only interested in RU, there is an individual school pass available for a few bucks less
* You cannot view live matches aired on the actual BTN through the BTN+ app; however, those matches are also uploaded at some point after completion

Was Lou Deprez a solid 197 or did he miss weight? Looked like he has a brother on team who is 184

Any idea what’s up with Janzer? He’s matside wearing jeans.

[koleszar]

This day is going to cost me some serious cash.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Any idea what’s up with Janzer? He’s matside wearing jeans.

Goodale said at media day that he would not be ready for this weekend. Sounds like a minor injury, but Goodale did not specify. Did not seem like Janzer would be out for any extended period of time.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Gapas with a takedown and cross-wrist tilt for a quick 6-0 lead midway through the first period.
