What do the Red Sox have in common with ACC basketball? Both will appear on NESN on Thursday.

NESN will carry SNY’s coverage of the Red Sox-Mets game from Port St. Lucie, Fla., giving Red Sox fans another opportunity to see how the team is doing in spring training. SNY is producing the game in SD and not HD.

NESN HD throughout New England and NESN’s SD signal in Connecticut will show the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament coverage as originally scheduled.

For Direct TV subscribers in Connecticut, ACC basketball will be available on either channel 628 (HD) or 629 (SD).
