*** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs UCF Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneErik]

Good enough win, I guess.

 

[NENick]

I think we win out. That Houston game is tough but winnable and we’ll be amped for it.

I'm not as confident as you, but I really believe the Cyclones win at KSU to end the regular season.

Keshon's ball-handling and overall decision-making in the last ~5-6 games is just not great.

KG is an the X factor. He'll do something boneheaded but then he'll do something amazing. You just hope his amazing outweighs his DOH plays.

 

[Cloned4Life]

LOL ESPN is collecting cash and doesn't give a damn about production values or customer satisfaction.

It’s UCF’s “fault” though right? I had thought the home team/stadium is mostly responsible for the audio/video equipment and stream?

Even watching live games now on +, most look and sound great. No issues at all.

It has since he's put on the Cyclone uniform. He's the guy that goes out and forces the issue. Someone in that position is going to fail sometimes too. A whole lot more good than bad out of him.

Agree. And he’s hit some big shots down the stretch in some big games.

Conference MBB games on ESPN+ are still run through a regular production truck.

Do they transmit via satellite or via internet provided by the venue?

Felt like maybe it was a bitrate issue. More action on the floor, video bitrate went up, and the audio (and sometimes video) choked out

Chat and Heise were both really good tonight. Great to see them overcome their recent sluggish play. Both guys play hard and can help this team the rest of the way.

How did Mikey Williams become such a big deal on the internet? I know he’s kind of well know but does anyone know why?

Apparently talented player with a big social following in HS. Criminal assault gun charges in '23 made to essentially go away. He is on 2nd school and 2nd chance.

 

[t-noah]

Is ESPN+ wonky for anyone else tonight? I have zero issues with wifi in my home...all apps up to date...using Chromecast with Google TV or whatever...but the ESPN+ keeps pausing (not buffering) then goes fast motion to catch up...just a mess tonight...never experienced this on this before.

Yeah it’s a major problem for everyone

Same here

There's always something to complain about w/ espn+, and it's legit every time. C- app.

We need someone like that. To many times everyone is too passive. JJ could take over, but wants to pass even when he's 2 ft from the basket. The over passing drives me nuts.

In the first half Milan had a wide open jumper at the free throw line and passed it up and we ended up with a shot clock violation. Take the ******* shot!!

One of my latest gripes w/ espn+ is, when watching delayed, you cannot fast forward the commercials (Hulu does this also), but in my area it is just 3 minutes of statc air time.

I overcome this, sometimes, by fast forwarding, well past the break, before they break to commercial. If you aren't quick enough it's 3 min of static air.

Pretty inferior network.

 

[t-noah]

****-tastic broadcast, good win.

They need to call it espn- (minus).

That would be fair.

 

[t-noah]

I feel like tonight was one of our better rebounding effort nights.
Some things to clean up but a solid W.

A road win is always good.

We are getting our legs back and confidence up. Get the next two in Ames, and see what happens at Houston.

I think the shot clock turnovers should be assessed to the last guy with the ball, instead of it being a team turnover.

There's no "I" in shot clock violation.

Wait.

Until this game ESPN+ has been pretty solid for me.

Aren’t they? I thought they were an individual TO.

Yeah it's so stupid that they make you watch the "commercial" when it is just a screen saying we will be right back lol. If it's actually commercials I can understand but if you just show me a screen that's stupid
