We complain about a lot of things with the broadcasting of women's games, and I know that FS1 broadcasting this one caused some issues for some fans, but ...
How refreshing was it to have a national broadcaster not specifically affiliated with either program, take a few minutes to recap the game once it was over?! And a studio crew that talked knowledgeably about the game and highlighted not just this game but a few of the other games in progress around the women's games.
ESPN occasionally has a little filler time, but typically spends it talking men's basketball. When they have the women's studio crew involved (typically when they have more than one women's game on tap) they are great - really like Kara and Rebecca - but it happens to infrequently. And CBS is lucky to get both the opening tip and final horn before cutting away to 'more important' programming.
