Flo Hoops (merged thread)

[D J B]

Technically 4 games
2 Husky games (Minnesota on 11/20 and Syracuse or USF on 11/21) PLUS whatever the other 2 are (S.Carolina, Oregon and whatever)
so it actually works out to about $3.13 a game.
Worth every penny if the broadcast quality is decent.

There's also another tourney going on after the Bahamas with Stanford, Maryland and someone else. Games galore.

And, you can provide your own hamburgers, fully cooked and not still frozen in the middle, for less than $25. So a really good deal.

And home fries, slaw, beer, and beer, and ice cream, and beer. And a recliner. And a short crawl to bed. And maybe a bedtime beer. And do it all again tomorrow. A complete healthy workout all around.

With the UConn link discount. . .
I pulled the trigger for $12.50.

Wife has been watching Indiana at Butler.

I'm thinking we might keep it through the basketball season & then cancel until next year.

Students get top keep their UCONN.edu address for life. I wonder why they don't do that for alums.
It would maintain the connection and loyalty.

Does anyone familiar with Flosports know if they archive games? I have other plans, but usually catch games on dvr. Was wondering if I could do that with this tournament. Thanks.

Thanks for this HFB!

FloHoops has past games (at least some) that you can stream. I tried to watch one last night and after about 10 minutes it froze and never returned. Not my idea of a professional well run experience.

It works on my computer but not on the internet on my TV. It keeps saying "error can't connect". So i guess i need to watch them on my little computer screen. Can't wait to cancel my subscription.

This broadcast is a joke. Freezes up all the time and when I restart, it's 50-50 whether I get the game in progress or the game from the beginning. Still watching, but pretty much seems like $12.50 down the tubes.

I submitted a few tickets and got my money back. It was horrible, missed the entire first half...

 

[Jeff in CT]

Already canceled my subscription. What a joke!

The tournament is a great idea and good for the women's game, but that was the most frustrating sports event I've watched in a long time, maybe back to adjusting the rabbit ear antenna era on the B&W TV.

Yep, I'm that old.

Beyond the technical issues early-on, I thought the visual coverage was perhaps fair, while the commentary was absolutely horrid! From a visual perspective I cannot stand when live coverage is stepped-on, specifically here when the camera follows the prior scorer up close as they run up the court, rather than the ball. As for the commentators, they sounded like two women chatting about basketball in their living room with a game going in the background as a distraction on a tv. I'm already critical of the regular round of WBB announcers, but these two took extraneous chatting and ignoring the action/calls/subs etc. to a new level. My blood pressure dropped dramatically when I turned on the Huskies All-Access audio instead. A shoutout to HuskyFanBlue for the link to the Flo discount which tempers my exasperation!

Still...something is better than nothing.

I agree with you about the commentary, another example of not really talking about the game action for most of the game. They seemed to let us know who scored but it seemed on a lot of the fouls they didn't mention who it was on. Especially on non shooting fouls.
And I mentioned this is a post game thread...on my streaming, the game clock and the display were not synced, the display was 10 seconds behind the game clock.

I thought the analyst grew into her role but the announcer was out of it. Messed up so many facts.

I got to watch the game.....
Cost me a Latte at Starbucks.

Not really even sure who's who, but I've a beef with the one that said "again", again and again. I suggest that if every other statement one utters includes "again", that you're literally repeating everything you say! Bode Miller proved a master of this in his Oly skiing commentary.

 

[JoePgh]

If you can, may I suggest muting the Flohoops sound and getting your audio on the radio from Bob Joyce and Debbie Fiske? They will provide intelligent commentary. However, today their broadcast was about a minute ahead of the video feed, so I always knew what I was going to see next.

In the Hartford area, they were on FM 105.9 today, but they will be on 97.9 tomorrow. I believe their broadcasts are also available on ESPN digital radio channels.

Thanks for posting the info and link for discounted rate. Jumped on it at 11:45am.
Well worth $12.50 plus tax for access to two games. Probably won’t use it anymore after these two games. Visual stream was a little ragged and announcers were poor but I got to see the game.

 

[Monte]

Just wondering: You fans who mentioned that your picture froze up during the game: do you have Optimum for your carrier?
