Big East tournament bracket

GRUMBLE here about the evolution of watching the team BUT - if some of the $$ I pay Peacock goes to the BE which then goes to UConn to help pay for the product we so much love, then that morphs it to just a plain old grumble.
 
I hate streaming, but when my optimum bill comes in, I hate them too.

You know what's funny? When we all had antennas up on the roof, we didn't miss anything. What did that cost? NOTHING! However, that airplane flying overhead did make the picture get fuzzy.

If you have YouTube TV or Peacock included in your Internet provider (Xfinity or others)
Then you can watch. I don’t know if the other TV providers have this channel, hope this helps.💙
Just saw the end of the HOYAS defeating Butler. Butler's Head Coach
missed a critical challenge on an out of bounds call in the final seconds.
I saw the ball as off the Hoya player. The ref made the call and gave the Ball
to Georgetown. It "could of" gone the other way!

Well there wasn't much to miss back then. But if you did miss it......you missed it. No recording, maybe a re-run in the summer?

And rain/snow would get you a fuzzy picture too.

Also I have all the games (not just UCONN) listed on my NBCSN, except Monday.
 
Thank gosh I will be in Section 18 for the entire tournament. My favorite event of the year. Good games, good food, good atmosphere and great people watching.
We try to be pretty hospitable down here in the lower corner. Not many tourists in Mystic right now, so if you want to get out, come on down.
 
Throughout all this discussion it is interesting that never once is anything mentioned about whether the product and service that we are being forced to pay for is a better, more usable product. Instead we have become accustomed to trying to find the silver bullet to try and get away from paying for something that used to be free (or at least included in cable packages, etc). Maybe this bridge was crossed a long time ago and if so we can move on but it still is worrisome how we have come to accept "streaming" as inevitable and supposedly better. Or is it we are just going to eventually cave and end up paying for something that offers the consumer actually less utility and value but at a higher cost? OK, that's enough griping. Next.
AGREE! I am not paying for another provider (Peacock) and I bet there are other UCONN fans who refuse to get hustled for something we used to get as part of our basic cable service. You can go poor paying Peacock, NHL, MLB and whatever else. I just got told what my monthly charge for baseball was going to be and I said, no thanks. Paying for all these sports packages is more expensive that heating/air conditioning my home.

BTW for the poster who asked about seeing the games on You Tube after they are finished, I did so on every game that Peacock had exclusive right to during the season.

I have the Peacock/AppleTV bundle. I like it.
March Madness will be hard for me because I don’t have live TV. I have to watch the games the following day on YouTube. I pay $15/month for more shows than I’d ever watch. During the season I listen to the games. I also prefer the radio broadcasts of baseball and football.
 
Dooooomed!


Not sure what this chart is tryng to tell us (or why anyone would use light blue text on a gray background), but if Connecticut has a 98% chance to reach the final and a 96% chance to beat Villanova, their chance of winning the tournament is only about 94% (maybe 95% if there is roundoff error.

They are two separate events: 1. The odds of getting to the championship and 2. The odds of beating supposed opponent Villanova

Me too! $14.99/month and well worth the price.

If it helps anyone, I was able to get a free 1 week Peacock+ subscription through Amazon Video.
Once the Big East Tournament is over, I’ll cancel subscription.
Watched yesterday, no issues.
