Ok So I watch the end of the UMBC game and watch a few minutes to the Texas game.. then espn 2 goes off and dish network tells you " you are not in the correct viewing area for this game" or some sh!t like that! Why can I watch a UMBC game who I have no interest in watching and they block the texas game... when I am in the big 12 area....

did that happen to anybody else... Good thing espn alt. is showing the game!

You were expected to watch the game on ESPNPlus NOT on ESPN2. The games were blacked out on ESPN2 in Big 12 markets because they are shown on ESPNPlus. It is just part of the TV deal.
