Was your audio super choppy all night? Whenever my audio got choppy the video was fine and the choppy audio lasted for a minute or two at a time. I ended up muting it when it happened for the fifth time.

I wasn't able to watch, but the replay audio is choppy as hell.
Ours was choppy all night long, but the picture was perfect for the KSU/Arizona game. Wonder if it was an equipment problem for our game or a bandwidth problem. ESPN had the same problem broadcasting some of the Div 2 football games this fall, I would say its bandwidth and they are trying to squeeze to many games into the available bandwidth.
I never understood why ESPN didn't throw up an ESPN commercial of upcoming games or some canned Big12 marketing piece on the 2 schools or an oversized crawl with scores around the country. To put up a static image with horrible music seems so 1960's off-the-air TV.
I tried a couple times to sync Walters/Heft, but it kept going out of sync because of the ESPN+ issues.
They are trying to broadcast too many games at once, and would have to hire more people to get all those ready and playing, its easier to just throw up the static image during a break.
Yep to win on the road it helps to play defense, rebound and get shots in the paint.
Leading up to the games, they sometimes have a 15 second ESPN commercial that repeats endlessly and drives me nuts. You'd think they would just throw that in with their big advertisers and say "hey, if you buy this package, I'm going to give you X amount of dead air ads for free"
I am guessing it was a bandwidth problem, but would put the blame more on the upload from Orlando than ESPN being overwhelmed by content.
I wish they would just cut to a wide angle view of the court with crowd noise for the audio.
ESPN coverage and production are very sub par compared to everyone else. Give me CBS every time.
It was bad last night although I feel like I've had plenty of games that it simply froze up or wouldn't play.
Any time ISU opens up against UNI in football and I'm in Iowa I'll assume I won't be able to watch the game.

It's this for me. I saw the same two commercials for Orlando Health and UCF at least 3x every commercial break last night. The only way to have watched last nights game without going crazy was on mute.
After I posted that, I realized the under 50 crowd probably never experienced the days when network channels went off the air overnight from something like 1am-6am and a fixed image was on the screen.
I would guess Keshawn Hall is going to the draft. He's had some very high scoring games this year and is one of the leading scorers in the conference. Might even be leading it. I'd say his age will keep him out of the lottery but I think he'll be a first rounder.
Anyone else contacting ESPN plus to complain and get a refund? I'm mostly just doing it to waste their time...
