Disrespect from CBS

[Huskyforlife]

People who ask these questions probably wonder why the B10 hasn’t scooped us up yet.

 

[Hi-Low]

because neither of these teams are in...well you know what...

Cincy was more relevant in BB in Conf USA than they are now. I think most people assume Cincy folded their BB program after 30 years of irrelevance. Maybe bring back Huggins, at least he was interesting.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Do you need a whambulance? How about because they think they will make more money by putting us where they did?

Post/handle

Because CBS knows blow outs are boring.

Who here changed the channel?

 

[B1GEast]

Always needs to be said. They don't like us.

I don't care.

Disrespect to all the fans and players having games go past midnight East Coast time

Cinci looked great against that IndianaSU

In their loss.

It’s 2024, who cares what channel the game is on.

 

[NickDanger]

Why aren't the overall number one seed and defending national champions on CBS?

Because they figured the game would not be close, while the other game would be?
CBS is after ratings my friend. They would put on their own mother being butchered if it would get high ratings.

 

[Rico444]

Slightly OT, but anyone know why Saturday's games aren't on CBS?

Amen

Saturday game time 6:10....on TrueTV and TBS,

 

[KembaRunner]

I couldn’t tell you what channel we were in for a single game this post season. I just open YouTube tv and click the one that says Uconn

All of the games (except CBS) are streamable on HBO Max so who's really winning?

I know people hate Kobe but he entertains me. Funny cat.

Imagine if you will, a Cincinnati fan hanging on a UConn board and having such a lack of self awareness he brings up TV ratings

I concur, his takes are amusing. Thank you lord, I could have been a wannabe too. We're blessed

 

[Icehawk]

Ok, but our game Saturday is on TBS/TruTV too? I mean whatever, more lumber for the bonfire I guess but it does seem pretty weird to me that the reigning champs are relegated to cable/streaming (again).

Why aren't the overall number one seed and defending national champions on CBS?

Simple answer = money. The decision was based on eyes. Whatever would draw the biggest audience went on CBS.

Slightly OT, but anyone know why Saturday's games aren't on CBS?

I thought I read they rotate who gets some of the games per the contract, but that might just be final four/championship.

 

[willie99]

I think both games are on the same network for Saturday, there are no overlappoing games
