Just starting the thread early.
Also, for TV options keep in mind that if you pay for an ESPN+ (extra $5 per month) subscription, you already have access to the SEC Network+ broadcasts. This is because ESPN owns the SECN.
So it would be less confusing if they just said ESPN+, but whatever.
......... (edit)
So the entire game was posted to Youtube. I embedded the video on page 4 of this thread, but I thought that video was pretty valuable, so I'm attaching it to this OP as well: enjoy.

I've got ESPN+ and I don't believe SECN+ comes with it. I think you need to have SEC Network through a cable/dish provider for it to work.

I just logged into my ESPN+ account and was able to bring up 3 different replays of SEC WBB games that were noted as SECN+. Based on that, I am hopeful I will get the game on Sunday to go through as well. However, my cable provider does have 1 channel of SEC network so that cable login may be what is allowing the game to go through and not the ESPN+.

I think that's the catch. I am an ESPN+ subscriber but I don't have SEC Network through my cable provider, hence I don't get SECN+ games.

If that's the case (try accessing the ESPN app from multiple platforms first, like mobile, desktop, roku, or Amazon Fire, smartTV, etc. just to make sure). But, if you are right, another option would be to do a "free trial" subscription to a streaming service that DOES have the SECN, like: Hulu Live SlingTV with Sports extra YouTubeTV I have Hulu Live, and it has the SECN. Just make sure to cancel it afterwards.

I'm a South Carolina fan and looking forward to the game on Sunday. I visited your state when we played in the Sioux Falls Regional in 2016.

Welcome. This game is a total unknown for us. We think our team is pretty darned good but how good we are on the national scene amongst the top teams in the nation is a question that’s going to get answered Sunday. My hope is we play to our abilities and find out how we stack up. Probably our signature win thus far is Ohio State, a team that recently beat #2 Louisville. Using comparative scores gives us optimism.
I guaranty you our coach has an immense amount of respect for your team. I’m hopeful we play 4 quarters with you. Thanks for coming to our board.

What does your fan base anticipate from us? I imagine we're not on your radar much and you'll probably be wondering just who are these people and what are they doing in our arena. I hope we'll leave a good impression. Games like this are nothing but a positive for our 'Yotes.

Watched South Carolina play Duke for a bit last night. When I was watching, it felt like it was a success if Duke could throw 2 passes in a row without a USC steal. USC was really good at anticipating/cheating in the passing lanes, and Duke couldn't adjust to their quickness. It rattled Duke. It seemed odd in a way because the defense wasn't super aggressive or physical, but well defined as to where they wanted to ball to go, anticipating it, and then making Duke look silly.
Normally USD would counter that with Duffy bringing the ball up and forcing someone bigger away from the hoop to offset the defenses plan, but I would guess USC will deny her the ball and force Lamb/McKeever to bring it up, and then cheat on the eventual pass to Duffy. (that is what the seemed to be doing with Duke)

I don't think there was much chance they were going to overlook Duffy even before Graham Hays' ESPN article a couple days ago, but they're going to be all over her I'd imagine.
South Carolina is going to be big, mobile and disruptive and they're going to block some shots and get some steals. The key will be to keep from getting rattled by the inevitable bad play here and there and just keep attacking. Spread them out as best you can and go for it. You can't meet a more athletic team by retreating. Play with force. Play with conviction and see what happens. If you get beat, at least get beat throwing punches, not on your heels.
But you have to ATTACK. South Carolina is going to have spent practices having Staley harp on how good a shooting team USD is and how they have to guard the line. Drive with purpose. This isn't a game where you're going to "let it come to you." They're going to have to go take things.
It's going to be a huge test. Hopefully they leave Columbia with more confidence than when they got there and not less.
