December - Other Big East Games

[WhereistheDove?]

Anyone else just hating this "all access" broadcast? It's almost unwatchable.

Horrible. This is FS1’s “hold my beer” moment after ESPN’s production choices at the PKI.

 

[Tommyboy]

How can this be a full game thing? It is brutal.

St. Johns' main lineup (or one of their two main ones) is shooting 25% from 3 as a team on the season.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I know it is early in this game, but St. Johns has looked good in exactly one game all season, against Nebraska. Xavier isn't even playing that well, and they are up 14. The NET is an efficiency rating, so getting smoked at home would be pretty bad for the Johnnies.

Freemantle makes a few knucklehead plays every game, but Colby Jones must drive his teammates crazy. He is a less talented version of Nembhard, playing hero ball on a team that absolutely doesn't need him to do that.

 

[MJ1]

I turned it off. Not really interesting in hearing two raspy voice coaches scream for 2 hours

Is this happening all game or do they eventually switch back to normal commentating?

Unfortunately, All game

 

[gtcam]

This All Access is plain BS
I want to see the action full screen and not the damn coaches
Better not do this at the UConn games
Can coaches decline it?
I remember another conference tried this crap and canned it in short order

 

[REB1094]

Unfortunately, All game

Guess I'll find something else to do tonight then!

 

[auror]

I love it, but I guess I'm crazy.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

looks like curbelo is playing in sunglasses.

also looks like a HS gym

 

[Blue Blood]

I will say I enjoy watching St John's the degree of difficulty on everything they do is outrageous its like watching the globe trotters except it almost never works

 

[Bazz4A]

So glad everyone’s on the same page. I was looking forward to watching this game and I’m 2 min away from turning it off

 

[WhereistheDove?]

No wonder Miller is always so sweaty. He really expends a lot of energy during those timeouts.

 

[gtcam]

Freaking Miller looks like he is going to have a heart attack
I despise that man

 

[elmcityboy]

i'm kind of in to it, haha. dunno how i'd feel if it was my team playing, though.

don't know why mike anderson agreed to this though -- it's a pretty bad look when your team is getting undressed and you are just chilling on the sideline not really saying or doing anything.

 

[gsmooth]

Yes he is. The indoor lights bother him. The announcers in the Nova-SJu stated that

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Nunge has always been one of my favorite non-UConn players in the conference.

St. Johns starting 5 is not bad. They shouldn't be getting beat like this.

 

[Leebo]

Everyone is always begging for the part of the screen that shows the basketball to be smaller. Right?

 

[August_West]

I love it, but I guess I'm crazy.

That’s my bill Walton defense!

 

[auror]

I get that they're down 14, but St John's guys not engaged in huddle, compared to Xavier.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

As I said in the other thread, I would have paid to see Calhoun coach a game all access like this.

 

[auror]

Honestly the worst part of the game is listening to the Jock Jams during timeouts.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

I like watching the timeouts better than the game. More interesting.

No commercials is cool.

St Johns runs nothing on offense. wild

 

[WhereistheDove?]

As I said in the other thread, I would have paid to see Calhoun coach a game all access like this.

I’d have paid even more to be in the pregame meeting when they told him he’d be doing the all access game.

 

[jleves]

Everyone is always begging for the part of the screen that shows the basketball to be smaller. Right?

Nothing like having paid for a nice TV and having to watch in a box from the 1990s.

 

[Hi-Low]

Clearly a drunken evening in the FS1 programming department led to this.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Anyone else just hating this "all access" broadcast? It's almost unwatchable.

I hate it

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I’m into it

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I love it, but I guess I'm crazy.

This is the first comment that has me curious about what I'm going to see after the Women's game at Creighton ends.

i'm kind of in to it, haha. dunno how i'd feel if it was my team playing, though.

don't know why mike anderson agreed to this though -- it's a pretty bad look when your team is getting undressed and you are just chilling on the sideline not really saying or doing anything.

The curiosity builds...

 

[MyDorona]

I'm not sure that this novelty is going to last. During the first stoppage, everyone listened to Miller tell Nunge how to counter something SJU was doing. What's stopping a team from having someone watch the broadcast and make the necessary adjustments?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I’d have paid even more to be in the pregame meeting when they told him he’d be doing the all access game.

It would have been better if it was against a coach that Calhoun didn't like, like Beilein.
