Well it's hard for hockey to get any ratings on ESPN when it's never shown on ESPN.

I'm not sure what the remedy is for this. They do this with almost every college sport they cover. The game before Virginia/Hopkins also went long, causing them to join that game in progress. This is how they schedule sports at ESPN.
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but ESPNU is showing over seven hours of college hockey today, compared to four hours of college lacrosse. They got unlucky with the game going into OT. If it doesn't go to OT, they're at the hockey game less than 5 minutes late. Not much you can do about a game going into OT.
If the college hockey game was on ESPN or ESPN2, the same thing probably happens. They're ALWAYS airing live games in a block like this on weekends. Sometimes, those games go long. The only thing you can do is delay the start of the hockey game until the lacrosse game ends, but then you're going to have to push the 6:30 game and the 9:00 game back, too. Not sure they want to do that, either.
Let me also add that the quality of the ESPN3 stream, at least on my connection, is virtually HDTV quality.
