ESPN, nice downplay of this game

[NEforceUConn]

So happy we are with FOX. Bristol sucks.

Front page of NCAAW has a pic of ND. Jezz!

No surprise there!

 

[Bama fan]

This was not on their network, so why would they choose to advertise for a competitor.? I see nothing to get cranked up about here. Let's all look for something else to gripe about for today.

The Big East is not ESPN broadcast property. Why would ESPN feature UConn? That would be like a MacDonald’s commercial featuring the Whopper.

They typically try to drive traffic to live games in progress on their networks. That's just normal promo stuff that all networks do.

They do have a write-up on the game at the top of their headline ticker.

I won't object as long as Notre Dame gets blown out.

All front pages should scream Gator.

But congrats to UConn!

Because they claim to be sports journalists.

Because they claim to be sports journalists.

They’re a business

 

[Gus Mahler]

Wasn't the video of Azzi's seven threes on ESPN? Plus two other video snippets.

 

[SallyH]

I thought Fox was horrible. They didn't know any of the players on either team. They called at least two different TN players Burrell. At one point the woman who was calling the game said #85 (I think she meant #35 Azzi Fudd), but seriously you don't know the players? At one point the scoreboard said TN72 - CT52 - I think they had the TN score inverted, but, geeze - CPTV did a better job.

ND didn't get blown but lost to a .500 Florida State team.

Money, and advertising, make the world go around. Business!

Yes, I saw that when Fox transposed the numbers.

Tale of Two halves? The half they lost and the other half they lost.

 

[Charliebball]

Don't worry, when the Paige, Azzi, Caroline show hits full stride you'll be seeing plenty of them on ESPN......

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

I saw ESPN's TX vs Baylor half-time show and they dedicated about 1/3rd of their time to the UCONN vs TENN game. So... there's that.

Who were the halftime commentators and what did they say?

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Landers, McNulty and Rebecca. Talked about on coming UCONN, great shooting Azzi, slumping Tenn. And the long "rivalry.

 

[TeamFirst!]

Right after the Uconn game finished ESPN had at least 2 Uconn clips featuring Azzi on it. Timeliness is a big factor. They are a sports NEWS site after all.

One of my good friends and I were just rehashing the game. He and I have been going to women's games since the mid 80's. That streak stopped in the covid era.
This win made us both think think of another UConn - TN game played at the Civic Center. That's the game that Diana nailed a 1/2 court shot at the halftime buzzer. Geno looked as surprised as we were.
Today we have that same kind of euphoric feeling.

I was also there. DT's shot was more like a 3/4 court shot, at least 15 feet behind half court. Question, was that the blizzard game?
