#5 UM vs #4 Minnesota on BTN
Game 1: Tuesday, Dec. 8, 8:00 pm ET — Big Ten Network
Game 2: Wednesday, Dec. 9, 6:30 pm ET — Big Ten Network
Posting in case people don't know. BTN doesn't show many Michigan Hockey games unfortunately. This will be my first chance to actually watch them this season.

wish we had our full roster

As someone who doesn't have cable, how can I watch this game? I have BTN plus, but they only show replays of the game later. I want to watch live, but can't go to a bar/friends. Anyone know where to find a live stream of the game?

If you’re heart-set on watching anything specifically, YouTube TV does a free 5 day trial. Buddy of mine doesn’t have cable and did the free trial just so they had something to watch on Thanksgiving. Just be sure to cancel before the trial is over if you don’t intend on keeping it

so what's with the mid-week games? is it because they don't have classes to attend so they can 'zoom' school from their hotel rooms?

Television content for the conference's flagship subscriber network? :)
Don't get me wrong....I like having it avaiable!

I think they planned around the World Juniors, and wanted to get these games in before training camp started. Alas, US Hockey moved it up so Michigan and Minnesota are missing 8 players total anyway, which is really unfortunate for the fans.
Also, I assume that Wisconsin, OSU, and other schools that use their hockey rinks for basketball and other events had to schedule around the conflicts, which bumped other games forward or back into mid-week.

makes sense. thank you.

I believe it was to get a condensed schedule in. Rather than 2 games / week, they're probably averaging closer to 3 / week by having a series every 5 days or so

Thanks for the info. Will have to check it out tonight. Right now these two games are the last two on the schedule. Are they looking to add more games?
December 8th, 2020 at 1:30 PM ^
I don't think BTN has announced the broadcast schedule for the rest of the season yet. They really should be showing more games than those really bad analysis shows or re-runs.

I think he means the hockey team.
They're doing the season in phases. They DO plan to play more games ...this first spate of games was just to get up and running. Not surprisingly they're playing it by ear. Usually they break at this point of the season anyway. Expect more games in the new year.

Thanks trueferblue22. I had forgotten this is the time of year they usually break. Will look for more games after the break
December 8th, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
lookin' forward to it!

I hate that the game is at 8 tonight after staying up for MNF last night. I'm too old for this

Question:
Many on here allege that UM cannot compete with OSU, AL, CLEM in football because your school's standards are too high to recruit the types of kids necessary to break through those ranks. How is it then that you are able to recruit those kinds of kids in basketball?
