Slogged our way through the non-con and all it’s patsies — which wasn’t nearly as bad as all the complaining about the patsies.
Now we have our first conference game. Down in Raleigh, NC against North Carolina State in PNC Park Arena. It’s a nooner.
Unfortunately this is not a national game, and if you don’t live in the Pittsburgh area, finding the game is a little tricky. In Pittsburgh it is airing on WTAE. For everyone else, you have to hope you are in a place where a local ACC Network affiliate is carrying the game. It’s being carried by a fairly broad group of carriers, but I am not so lucky today. The closest affiliate for me is in Youngstown, Ohio.
Thankfully the game is also on ESPN3.com. It is also on the ESPN FullCourt package if you have it. Just to twist the knife, at the start of conference play there is usually a free preview week of FullCourt to suck you in at midseason. But wouldn’t you know it, the preview starts (PDF) on Monday, January 6. Some good news is that it will include the Wake Forest game on Saturday, January 11.
