If so that’s awesome. Albeit unfortunate.

I don’t think they go on sale until Monday. ?? Also, IU will get an allotment of tickets, reach out to the alumni association if you’re interested.

We get the 8:30 pm ET time slot

Seems like Pitt fans do not like the matchup

Of Creighton (6), Pitt(2), and Syracuse(2) combined, IU still outweighs them by 12 for College Cup appearances. That is just insane

Chaps my a$$ they put this game on ESPN+. 

In the past few years, they'd be available anyone at NCAA.com. 

I already subscribed to BIG+ to watch the IU women's games that weren't on "free" TV -- not giving my money to ESPN, too. 

First off before this year the game would have been on the same streaming as the home team does all year. You can’t have a BTN+ game on someone else's field that is not in the Big Ten and that goes for any game all year. I believe the SoCon conference has its own pay stream channel.

Now on to this year and the NCAA bought rights to all postseason events rather than the individual schools and all postseason games going forward for any sport will be on ESPN+ if not televised. 
 

Not a fan of what is going on with paying for all these streaming services but this is why the game was on ESPN+ yesterday (as well as every game in this tourney).

My issue is... whys it not free since its a tourney? 

Baseball post season is free. Why aren't all sports?

No its not. Baseball is either on TV or ESPN+ like soccer as of late last year. Its just baseball has far more tourney games televised.

All NCAA sports postseason games streaming are handled by NCAA themselves now so its either ESPN+ or normal TV as College Cup with ESPNU is this weekend.

Paying for streaming has become a norm now unfortunately we all have to get used to:(.

Judging by the weather, going to be a rainy Friday night in Cary

I hate that.  I don’t like playing games in garbage weather.  Slipping on a terrible field doesn’t care which team is better.

Hopefully it will go away, since it’s supposed to be like that on Monday. I also saw that the NCAA hasn’t allocated tickets yet

For those who have seen Pitt this year, what's the scouting report on them?

Not as strong or athletic as in the 2020 College Cup, but still a credible threat. Seems like they are worried about the wing situation against Endeley

Man I am so jazzed about this game.
