FYI - You'll need to know how to login to your cable/satellite or internet provider account in order to watch this game. Cable/Satellite provider will be a pretty sure bet, but if your internet provider has an agreement with ESPN for ESPN3 content that'll work too.

Either watch on your computer at watchespn.com, or downlowad the watchespn app on your device of choice. You can always run an hdmi cable to your tv if your laptop has one, or cast from your device to your tv using chromecast. Roku, xbox1, or anything else that will pull up the ESPN app on a TV will work too.

Ugh, online only games.

ESPN3 is a pretty low bar to compare to, but IA ST/Drake can't get a bigger network than Mediacom? Is this related to the Big10/Espn contract?

I really don't get why this game isn't on tv somewhere. Both programs have had lots of success recently and it will likely be considered a quality win for either when tournament time comes around.

It's a joke to me this is online only.

It's a joke both games aren't on locally in Iowa.
