Tourney coverage is crap.. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Good lord, CBS sucks ass.

They have games scheduled for TV they aren't even showing. They didn't even show Arizona - Seton Hall.

All I can say, is I hope ESPN gets the thing back after this year, this is horrible.

Tempted to spend the 60 bucks and get the Tournament on Demand shit from Dish Network, this is horrendus.

Fuck CBS.

Umm...they televise all the games. Whether they televise the ones you want to see in your area is different, and ESPN would do the exact same thing.

Kurant · 03-19-2004, 06:31 PM

The ones they list in my area, on TVguide.com (unless them, my dish network menu, and the sports page) is wrong, the games that should be on, aren't. The Arizona/Seton hall game was supposed to be on last night, it wasen't. I think the Air Force/UNC game was on that time slot.

Today, Cincy was supposed to be on, and the BC game was on.

I dunno, maybe there is some miscommunication, but the games listed in my area, aren't the ones showing up on my TV.

We got the Cincy game here in Chicago, along with the UofI game, UIC/Kansas and Wisconsin

I think they do all the scheduling of the broadcasts by whatever region you are in. In my region they showed the Illinois game and the Wisconsin game, and I live around both of those areas.

Yeah, present_future's probably right. Down here in atl, I got the entire GT game, even when we were blowing them out for a bit.

I do like how they're covering the tournament, however. Other than that game, if one game just isn't interesting anymore, they clip to another, instead of just, for example, showing Duke wipe the floor with Alabama St., they clipped to one that was much closer. I'll stick with this.

ABC needs to get the contract, that way ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC can show the games. We wouldn't miss any of these games then. ABC needs to get their priorities str8!

I would have perfered they not show the Cincy game but that's a story for a different thread.

At least Xavier won ...

My cable provider has set up extra channels in which I can view any game that is going on. This happened to be a feature that I found on Friday and was flipping between three games at a time.
