Yes and no. Go to daytonflyers.com. The link is to the Fox video stream, and it is probably not available everywhere. I, for one, don't get it.
Edit: now it looks like it will be available here in the Bay Area.

I don't get Fox Sports Atlantic via stupid Time Warner in South Carolina either. Who doesn't love the way the current cable TV system works?

Put my vote in that camp. You have to buy the extra sports package for $8.99 in order to get Fox Sports stations.
Who were those people who were saying all are games are on TV this year. All of them are not even on video.
BTW if we were in the Big East, we would all get the FX1 and FX2 and get the games.

Guess there's a reason he was a walk on...doesn't seem to be ready for the ball and can't hang on to the ball. Still love his effort.

Kyle Davis is playing crazily well! I swear, after his UD career he needs to consider a free safety position in the NFL.

The Sibert/Davis show on offense. Dayton plays so well when they pressure the ball on defense and run out on offense.

Bucky just implied that Archie has pulled Pierre away from the basket to open up the middle driving lanes. And on cue, Kyle drives for a layup.

Pierre gets a chance down low and get his jump hook blocked, that doesn't happen often. This is one game where they don't need big numbers from Dyshawn.

Kyle is certainly taking advantage of the open lane. I would like to see some back-cuts with that scheme.

Bucky is sure enjoying himself.

Sounded like quite the block and effort by Pollard.
We seem to be coasting in neutral. That is about 4 turnovers on the press.

Not only shooting well, but moving the ball around well, once again.
Watching this game, though, I can't help but be struck with how Fordham continues to do this year after year and continues to be terrible. how do they continue to prop up D! basketball at that place?? When your marquee sport is drawing less than 3,000 (I'm guessing here) for at least half their games each year, the only way to make the math work is by huge subsidies from the institution itself. Must be a tough budget to hammer through every year!

Doesn't FU choose to give FB scholarships? In my opinion the A10 should give FU an ultimatum: The flagship sport of the A10 is men's BB....you have five years to replace of bring RoseHill up to Div 1 standards or find another conference....no ifs, ands or buts.
The A10 can't dictate a winning program. nor should they mandate a seating capacity. Schools in pro sports towns will not draw 10,000 to a game. St; Joes is a good example. They seat only 4200...but spent $20 million bringing their bldg and related facilities up to Div 1 standards. That's fine. Fordham should do no less.
As I understand it, football is in FU's DNA from years past. That's their business. But that does not remove or reduce FU's obligation to meet minimum reasonable A10 standards. In fact, one of the reason's FU is so bad at BB is precisely because of their deplorable facilities.
So long as the A10 let's FU get away with it...FU will. In fairness to other schools it's time for the A10 to do something about this.

I'm glad there are 3 minutes left. We look tired and have been sloppy with the ball for the past five minutes or so. But, that happens in a big win even with a full team

Fordham is so bad. Their defense is a joke. 87 pts with 3 minutes to go and we coasted the second half.

Bucky is great, like an old friend, but I would love to have watched this game. Hope the crowd was as lively as they would have been when I attended UD and we had a blow out.

Awesome, they made that comment look bad! I may use that same comment in the future

Shot 61% and 82% from the line. What a game for Sibert.

Seven more wins and we dance... or six wins and a decent show in the A10 tourney. Anything less is a selection Sunday nail-biter.

Favorable schedule...exactly 7 regular season games remaining against teams currently at .500 or worse in conference.

Crowd that buys season tickets is rarely the problem. They were lively and plentiful. But...
Lower arena student section behind the basket was half-full. Not a soul in the upper Arena (which has been the case since they showed up for the season opener and never returned -- apparently they were entirely unimpressed with the experience as that's the only take-away we can presume).
The student section/Red Scare is simply a cause focused on apathy and indifference. They wanted festival seating. They got it. Now the tickets go unused. Im done defending them. I'd take the pair of 200 sections away from them next season and force them to earn them back in 2-3 years.
Super Bowl hasnt even kicked off yet, so thats not an excuse. Raining? Wrong phase of the moon? Alien abduction? It was just Fordham?
Less than 10 students/Red Scare show up for the women's team. Mother-effing son-of-a-beach. Perhaps the most competitive program in the entire UD athletic department with two of the greatest players in modern UD WBB basketball history, and you cant fill a Chevy Chevette full of students to patronize and support JJs program.
Its a calamity of fail by every objective measure. To those in the first 6-8 rows that show up every game, I recognize you and thank you -- and exonerate you completely from this fatwa.

Duke has recduced the size of its famed student section....student attendance for big-time basketball and football is decreasing coast-to-coast. SEC FB powerhouses like Bama and others have been trying to figure out what to do about it.
One of the explanations is the TV coverage on large flat screen TVs.....which would have been unimaginable one or two decades ago.
Whatever,....it's not just a UD problem. As for non-students...attendance today listed at over 13,000.
Now the uphill struggle begins as the short-handed Flyers tackle the last half of the A10 season...with 5 away games.

Remember when the students used to complain about the blue hairs? The tide has turned.

Good news though. 8 of the last 9 are on stations that are pretty universal. NBC Sports (2), CBS Sports (3) , ESPN2 and U (3).
