CBS and CBS Sports Network - NCAA Tourney Rewind

[gtcam]

Unreal - they are showing all types of NCAA tournaments games from the 1983 NCState/Houston game up through 2019 and NOT ONE UConn game. Games are virtually non stop between today and April 6. They skip over every UConn year. Duke and UK are on 60%. Just plain ridiculous. Not even the 1999 championship is being shown. The hate never ends

Uconn-Washington

Just a reminder of 2006 sweet 16 game. On cbssd on comcast at 6:00 tonight. This was quite a game I believe Austrie and Rash hit big shots to save us.

The games arent even in order just a horrible job by cbs.

We only have the most national championships of any school in the last 25 years, nbd. ‍

the butler/d00k final was pretty compelling. i didn’t watch the 1st time.

The right thing to do would be to play them in order from the 1970s or so to today its not that hard to do.

With the way the tourney has expanded and added a week in to April this should be easy. Each day play the FF games and championship games that occurred that day in history.

Thats just too hard of a concept for CBS to grasp.

NBC had the rights in the 1970's. Not sure going in order is a good idea as well. That said, they are missing some great games still from the Final Four's over the years. 1991 UNLV/Duke really comes to mind.

 

[SubbaBub]

Programming choices are a combo of thrilling endings and big name teams that appeal to a casual national audience.

For us that would be:
The shot 1990
Lattner 1990, but they will always pick 1992
1999 final, assuming they have the rights
2004 semi final.

None of our other final 4 games really fit the bill other than opium binges for UConn fans.

The women have it worse, the only games that matter here are the ones they lose.

 

[Zissou]

They are playing the most exciting and important games. 1985 and 2016 finals are featured prominently.

I can’t believe they don’t realize how ridiculous it looks to have Duke-UK or both in 99% of the games.

We all do realize at the end of the day, they're trying to get a viewership as big as possible, correct? And good, bad or otherwise, those "names" get eyeballs.

Do any of us doubt if MLB network had to do repeats during playoffs and world series it would be heavy on Yanks, Sox, Dodgers and a few other teams??

If ESPN had to do college football during playoffs it would be heavy on Bama, Oklahoma, OSU, etc??
