A little off topic, but I love what SNY has done for Uconn. The production values on the games are first class - often better than their big brothers at ESPN and light years ahead of BTN, Pac network and anyone else who is broadcasting women's basketball. I think Kerith is one of the best sideline reporters working in basketball and especially in women's basketball - and her questioning and repartee with Geno is really good. And while I am not that enamored with either Meghan or Kara partly from overexposure, the pre/post/halftime coverage is also better than what is generally available for women's basketball and actually focused on women's basketball rather than whatever the network is broadcasting on other channels or later.
And the quality, depth, and frequency of the Geno, Geno's Legacy, and All Access shows is better than anything I have seen for any college team in ANY sport. These are first class productions equal in production value to anything produced on ESPN or other networks for professional sports or produced by NBC for the Olympics in my opinion. That they are produced for a women's college basketball team is truly remarkable and I don't think people quite appreciate how extraordinary that is.
Add to above, that while not as widely distributed nor included with most basic service levels, that this programming is available in all 50 states and on most TV services and the value to Uconn and to the women's basketball program cannot easily be measured. This has to be a huge bonus to recruiting. Any HS player and their family that is contemplating Uconn as a possible school gets insights into the program, and the knowledge that even if their family and friends will not be at most of their games, they will be able to see them all with only a little effort.
I certainly hope there will be complete video of the senior night festivities but even if there isn't any (and really SNY not getting the game sort of absolves them) it is a small trade-off for everything we do get.
