Tonight's University of Evansville men's basketball game against Indiana University at the sold-out Ford Center will be available for free viewing on-line on ESPN3 - ESPN's live multi-screen sports network. ESPN3 owns exclusive rights to tonight's game, so it will not be available on AcesTV - both from a live game and archive perspective.
To access ESPN3 on-line, fans should visit
www.WatchESPN.com. From there, fans will need to sign in through your website provider (a full list of participating website providers are
available here). After signing in, fans should either click the "Watch Now" blue button on the top and find the game on the schedule, or scroll down and click on the game link below the main video player under the "Live Now" tab (will be available close to tip-off time). A full list of technical requirements to access ESPN3 are at the bottom of this page.
Fans with mobile devices and tablets can also watch the game by downloading the "WatchESPN" app (as long as service providers are signed up for coverage). Fans can also access ESPN3 on their Xbox through the ESPN channel on XboxLive.
ESPN3 is available in nearly 70 million homes at no additional cost to fans who receive their high-speed internet connection from an affiliated service provider. It is also available at no cost to approximately 21 million U.S. college students and U.S.-based millitary personnel via computers connected to on-campus educational networks and on-base millitary networks.
SHOULD ANY FANS RUN INTO PROBLEMS ACCESSING THE BROADCAST, they are encouraged to call ESPN's Customer Support directly by phone at 888-549-ESPN.

Contact Customer Care by calling 888-549-ESPN
Why is my audio and video not in sync?
Make sure that you are not doing anything network intensive on the same connection, such as downloading or sharing large files, or playing online games. Next, try re-starting the video player to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, contact ESPN Customer Care by calling 888-549-ESPN.
When I launch WatchESPN, I see a black screen, nothing happens or there is no audio/video. What is wrong?
Video can take several seconds display or you may be running a content filter, antivirus application or proxy accelerator that is preventing the streaming of video content. Please turn off these services and try again. If the problem persists, please contact us via the feedback page.
Why am I experiencing blurring of video and/or a loss in sound?
At times, viewers may witness a temporary loss in sound or blurring of video on espnnetworks.com. The blurring/muting is required to honor the digital rights ESPN has been granted for the content which - in rare cases - differs from those rights granted for traditional television usage. If this problem persists, please contact ESPN Customer Care at 888-549-ESPN.
