I think Kofi is going to have a big game. I’m sure he’s frustrated how season is going thus far. Add in his poor game last year against MO last year and I think team looks for him early and often.

I would like us to beat Mizzou convincingly, and wipe the smug looks off their ridge runnin', outhouse usin', corn pone gulpin', tobaccy chewin', moonshine brewin', bear wrasslin', skunk huntin', barefoot, toothless, interbred, hilljack fan base. And that's just the educated ones with Mizzou bachelor degrees, not the ignorant masses down that way.

Don't Sugar Coat it. Tell us how you really feel

Kofi had a nice play at the beginning of the game. Lost the ball towards the corner, but then backed his opponent down and used a nice drop step to score. if he can take his time like that, use the drop step and baby hook. he can totally dominate . Oh, and he needs to fake and then go up strong though contact for a 3 point play. Unstoppable.

I felt strangely indifferent to how convincingly we pasted Duke. However, I would dearly like to see a 20+ point demolition of Miznoz.

Also, +100 for the video of the guys diving after loose balls during Duke game. When I see these sorts of habits in place I'm reminded that the right guy is running the show for us.

alright this is absurd, secn+???? An overflow channel. Not available from Comcast?? even though we can get the SEC network. gonna be honest we are in need of pirated streams for this. No excuse for this ESPN. This is an actual TV draw compared to many games they show on their million networks.

ESPN didn't even know who had the rights until our coin flip a couple weeks ago. They already had scheduling.

Grab the ESPN app you probably have support for it there. I'm on YTTV and I go through a ROKU. The roku has the ESPN app available to get this game.

ILFaninFL · Dec 10, 2020

I was directed to ESPN Customer Care at 888-549-3776. They are open 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. ET, seven days a week if you want to let them know what you think.

I'm a comcast customer. I have roku also and the espn app but SECN+ is not available at all to comcast(which still has the largest market share despite the drop in subscribers). Going to the this alternate channel opposed to ESPN+ is a choice made that hurts only comcast subscribers and is I am sure some lame attempt to drive the point home that comcast is not playing nice with SECN+

sinmyp1 · Dec 10, 2020

So, does anyone live in S Illinois and use Mediacom? If so, is it on a channel I can watch? I believe I get all the sports channels just don't know if this SEC + is even an option.

Fighter of the Nightman · Dec 10, 2020

I’m still kind of in denial about this pathetic TV situation, lol.

CV Illini · Dec 10, 2020

I have Sling. SEC+ is available there. Cannot DVR it but can watch it.

ChocolateThunder · Dec 10, 2020

I have Hulu Plus I opened Hulu. Clicked on ESPN and searched The game is listed.
I also logged on to EPSNplus and the game is listed.
Looks like one could login to plus, and cast the game to one's TV.

Odd. I also have Comcast, Roku & the ESPN app. I could have sworn I was tuned in to SECN+ the other night. I did not stick around, because the game was something like Montana v Georgia, but I sure thought it was the alternate SECN feed.

This is not good news. Adequate news would be that it is on the SEC channel. Good news is ESPN picked it up. If the game were played at the Assembly Hall the BigTen network could have aired it. The should have forfeited the coin toss if there was not going to be TV coverage. Maybe that is not how it works, but it is inexcusable for this game not to be on TV.

It’s good news with respect to the fact that previously it was listed as radio only. You may be able to find a free trial of Hulu, Sling, Fubo or another platform where it is playing, then cancel after the game. That’s what I had to do last year.

So, I have Xfinity in the Chicago area. Am considering adding whatever package I need to get SEC network so I can watch this game on the ESPN app (after which I will promptly cancel this bundle Sunday morning), but I'm finding it hard to figure out what bundle I'd have to add. Does anyone know? Also, is this a bad idea in general, or should I charge forward with this foolhardy plan?

Here’s a link to find out if it’s available to you.

Last year, I got a free trial of Fubo then cancelled after the game. Hulu and Sling may be options as well.

I have Xfinity/Comcast and tried to watch the Mizzou-Liberty game last night to test it out. Got the message that SEC Network was not part of my package, so I was unable to.

If SECN is carried on Xfinity, then you can almost certainly use your Xfinity login inside the ESPN app to stream the game. Use whatever smart TV device you want to transfer that to your TV. I use a Chromecast. Roku is great, too.

DICKnaggie · Dec 10, 2020

For this and all future games as needed, try Googling "NCAA Basketball Streams Reddit". Head over there an hour before the game and there will multiple links to watch online. Hope that helps folks!

Only if your plan includes SECN. If you only get ESPN and ESPN2 you can only watch the games on those channels with the app.

It looks like Comcast provides different services to different geographies. I am in Maryland which is not an SEC state, but I guess that doesn't matter. I just confirmed again that it works here, and boy is it painful to watch!

IllinistuckinGopherland · Dec 10, 2020

Late to the party, but I’d say Mizzou is the best win when we get it. Love beating Iowa and Indiana, but over half the time there is at least a chance we will play them again in a few weeks. Braggin Rights is important because you get to savor the win or wallow in the loss for 365 days.

And 730 days of wallowing on account of Cuonzo and Smith is all I can take.

Here's what my YTTV app says. Are you saying download the ESPN app on the Roku and use YTTV as your provider?

TX Illiniwek · Dec 10, 2020

For anyone with Direct TV, it is scheduled on the SEC HD Alternative channel...611-1.
