My guess is an ESPN+ blackout because of FOX MVC Game exclusive. It was vs SIU earlier.

Yes, you are right. The MVC-TV Network deal involves broadcast on FOX Sports Midwest -- along with its sister regional outlets FOX Sports Indiana and FOX Sports Kansas City -- and NBC Sports Chicago. But it also allows for ESPN+ to stream the games outside those networks' combined six-state regional footprint -- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska".

So you have to be outside those 6 states to see on ESPN+.

However, for those who aren't able to watch on one of the cable TV networks, the games are also streamed on FOX Sports GO app.
 
I'm in Chicagoland... and I am able to watch online on ESPN+. Announcers confirm no DB again today. Hope his injury isn't more serious than originally thought.
 
Tough loss with a short handed team.
On the bright side:
Boya looked like a 7 footer out there today and played like a guy that would be recruited by the big boys. If he can build on this game and provide the kind of rebounding (and scoring!) that he did today, we'll be that much stronger come tournament time.

Still think the playing time everyone is getting because of the injuries we've had to deal with can only help us come tourney time assuming we're all healthy by then.

Still would have been nice to get a win here with such a short handed squad, but even just playing as competitively as we did is a real testament to Wardle.
