There is no shortage of ways to watch this game. Apple TV also has the watchESPN app. In many ways, figuring out how to get WatchESPN on your TV is easier than finding an obscure cable channel if the game were being shown there.

The only thing I'm really worried about are the refs. We are a team from the northeast that plays a very aggressive style defense.

The refs could really take this game away from us. It wouldn't surprise me if they had more than twice the free throws that we get.
I have watched Alabama’s last two home games. There were some home town calls down the stretch.

I have seen both Collin Sexton and John Petty play in summer basketball before their Senior years.
Sexton was ranked 7th and Petty 22nd in ESPN class of 2017.
Both players are capable of explosive scoring.
Sexton was pretty emotional and wants the ball in his possession a lot of the time. He likes to showboat and likes attention. I can see how he could have a 40 plus game already and then a disappearing type game already against UCF. I like Petty’s game. Good size, team player, can rebound. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him have a good game against us.
We can’t let Sexton go off and get confidence early. He is unpredictable on the upside and the downside.
I think the combination of Russell and Garrett will wear down Sexton much like it did PC’s Senior PG Saturday. Dowtin could also take a turn guarding Sexton or Robinson too.
Daniel Giddens is a big kid who transferred to Oak Hill Academy in HS. He is tall and long arms- hope we can hold him in check.
I think we win this won and chalk up a solid W against a top 25 caliber P5 team on the road!!

Well this is unfortunate. I just went to turn on sec+ via the WatchESPN app on my amazon fire and it’s saying “unable to play video. This network is not included in your current television subscription.

Wtf.... any suggestions?

Each cable provider has different agreements with Cox. Sometimes terrible companies like Comcast require you also have a special sports tier on your cable package to get these speciality ESPN varieties. Makes sense as ESPN charges so much for their channels.

WatchESPN isn't working for me on my phone, laptop, OR TV. I called Cox and they said it's on ESPN's end. Not mine. Currently listening to Steve & Don on iHeartRadio. Hoping this can fix itself soon.

Ugh, Missed Alley Oop by Dowtin followed by a made one by 'Bama. 7-2 Bama. And a weak call on Dowtin that should have gone the other way. Even the announcers thought it was on 'Bama.

This is not complicated. Need to make shots and take care of the ball. I don't think Alabama is better than us based on what I've seen so far.
