The game will not be available to stream online. It is on CBS-College Sports only. The online audio stream, as always, is available on the ksl.com web site with Greg Wrubell.
Also, an update: Vermont has stated that Brendan Bald, by and large, will draw the duties of guarding Jimmer Fredette. Brendan Bald is a 6'2", 200 sophomore guard. He is not really an offensive threat, averaging just 7 points/game on 35% shooting, so he can focus all of his efforts on the defensive side of the court without hurting Vermont's offense. This season, he has been averaging just over 24 minutes/game after playing just 10 minutes/game last season as a freshman. Can he chase Jimmer for 38 or 40 minutes up and down the court?
I imagine that other strategies, including a few "junk" defenses, will be employed in the effort to stop Jimmer, more than just putting Brendan Bald on Jimmer and saying "stop him." The best way to take the crowd out of the game is to take Jimmer out of the game. Glens Falls, NY will not care if Brandon Davies or Jackson Emery goes off for 30 points. But every play that Jimmer makes ignites the crowd. Limit Jimmer's plays, limit the crowd. Limit the crowd, limit BYU's chances to win.
