When you see someone from ESPN will you ask them why they have "no plans" to stream the women's SNY games on ESPN3?
The setup is the same as last year with ESPN3 streaming SNY games according to what the UConn people told me. If you fall into the area subject to blackouts, the game will be available on the archives.
