Just in case anybody was wondering, all three games will have live video streams at NCAA.com according to the NCAA website. Seminfinal games are at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET and the championship game on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

I remember when the games (or at least the title game) was on an actual TV channel. Hard to believe with all the sports channels out there, nobody picks up these games.

Or at least, at the very very least, ESPN3. Would have a significantly larger audience, and you can't tell me it'd be a costly production.

Very good point. To me, it would seem ideal for ESPNU or the NBCSportsChannel (the old VS. network, I think).

Honestly if ESPNU isn't there for this very type of game I'm not even sure why it exists.

There's been talk if moving the NCAA basketball season so it doesn't coincide with the end of football season. Not having to compete with the NCAA tournaments (NIT, etc.) would do wonders. There's just so many games that I guess I can see why we get the shaft.

If that problem got resolved by moving the NCAA basketball season, I would be shocked if you didn't see someone pick up at least the NCAACG.

Why doesn't the NCAA just start their own network? If conferences can do it, then the NCAA sure should have the resource. The NCAA could ensure that all of their championships at least have a broadcast home. ESPN involvement really adds no value if it is still just going to be Web-only.

If my digital TV guide is correct, when the puck is dropped for the championship game on Sunday, ESPN will be broadcasting...pool followed by a documentary. Not even women's basketball can make the main network (put on ESPN2).

Where are they hiding the links to the games, or am I just perennially too early by asking approximately 48 hours prior to game time?

You're just perennially too early by asking approximately 48 hours prior to game time. This is the NCAA and it's women's hockey. They'll probably post links sometime Sunday evening.
