espn360.com till the nba game ends?

[sittingon50]

Very impressive.

[Once and Future Zag]

Is it just me that's getting a black screen in the 360 player?

[SteeleMan]

nothing on 360 yet.... "Relax!" says SteeleWoman

[MDABE80]

how abot Justin TV?

[GolfZag]

This game better not go into OT!

[SteeleMan]

starting right now on 360... pregame chit chat

This is why I hate the NBA. 47 timeouts and 6 clock minutes take 40 minutes to expire. They all just barely jog down the court!!!

Worse yet... there will be no mention of this incredible game on ESPN.com. Why? Neither team is top 25.

[hooter73]

some dime a dozen nba game or the final of a turny in Maui. What a crock.

On queue. No mention.

Even worse, there's a headline about Wisconsion downing #21 Maryland. BUT NO MENTION OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! Madness.

Wisconsin is getting so much press

Wisconsin beat Maryland big whoop espn! Maryland obviously isn't that good. As we all witnessed in this tourney. They rely on Gervais Vasquez too much and he is not a good enough player to be relied upon. He puts up 25 shots a game and makes 9 of them wow. ESPN is so irritating sometimes in what they choose to cover.

[TheBunnieRancher]

Well, cheer up everybody. After this tourney, we will be in the Top 25 and therefore more relevant. Maybe then we can get better national coverage.

Shift it to ESPN News

What I don't understand is why ESPN refuses to interrupt their programming on ESPN News to show the game until the first game ends. It seems like the logical thing to do. It's not as if people are constantly glued to ESPN News - especially when most people are watching basketball and NHL games. What harm would it do to interrupt ESPN News programming for 20 minutes? It's ridiculous.

Did you also notice how the Maui feed got cut several times to Sportscenter and the college basketball studio team? Right before the start of the 2nd half, as the Maui announcers were talking, the feed switched to the college basketball studio team. The guys were basically sitting there picking their noses.
