Television Listings for Providence at (17) Xavier 12/28/2016

2 Comments

This 7:00pm tip to open Big East play is Providence’s second of five games that will be on FSN this season. Every other game is on either FOX, FS1, FS2, ESPNU or CBS Sports Network and should be easy for Friar fans to track down on their TV dials.

These are the networks that will be airing the game. Check your local listings to confirm. You can click on any network name with a link for a channel finder based on your zip code and TV provider:

The game IS AVAILABLE via the Fox Sports GO app. You can also check in with FriarTV as he usually always has at least the Rooke/Hassett audio and most of the time has at least one option for the video feed.
