Noon on ESPN+

Edited to add:
Looks like ESPN3 or ESPN+ for all of the Saturday games. It's a safe bet that will be the way to go the rest of the way out...

We'll probably be on CBSSN, ESPN2 or ESPNU for the Buffalo game, since Buffalo is the odds-on favorite to win the East. The Kent game depends on where things stand next Monday. I hope it's not ESPN3 or ESPNEWS, which is being used for the BSU-NIU game Wednesday night. ESPN3 would likely be available only through Spectrum. ESPNEWS is part of premium sports pack services, and apparently isn't available on ESPN+.

This kind of convolution is where no one has pity for ESPN and the mess Disney is in with that investment. At some point, they're going to have to decide if they're a direct-to-consumer or a premium app.

ESPN3 is generally available online to anyone who subscribes to ESPN. You can watch ESPN News and any other TV ESPN network (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, Longhorn) via ESPN+ if you have an actual cable subscription to that channel.

That's where it gets problematic. ESPN2, U, & News are not nearly as widely available as ESPN and even if you have a legit ESPN subscription AND a subscription to ESPN+, you get dinged from watching any games on the other 3. Kinda silly. I mean, I get it, but they have to be able to be a little more flexible.
