Our shot selection just makes you shake your head sometimes.
And our transition defense is absolutely terrible. Are our guys taught to just keep backing up until you're under the rim?

Notice the number of passes to take the lead vs the number of passes when we started losing it. Need to keep making that extra pass.
You and urb1 officially lose the rights to discuss picture quality ever again.
16x9 is the shape an HDTV has. It has 16 pixels of width for every 9 pixels of height.
4x3 is the shape an old SDTV has. It has 4 pixels of width for every 3 pixels of height.
Mediacom is taking the 16x9 Cyclones.TV production and squishing it into a 4x3 frame. The image is completely distorted (notice how everything is tall and skinny?) This is a horrific mistake.
I wondered how they would handle the fact that Cyclones.TV produces everything in 16x9 HD and display it on the 4x3 SD Mediacom MC22 channel. I assumed they would either:
a) Center-cut the picture (that is, discard the information on the "sides" from the wider 16x9 image). Some cable networks do this. The image appears to fill a 4x3 screen, but you're actually missing picture from the sides.
b) Letterbox the 16x9 picture (that is, put "black bars" at the top and bottom of the image in order to fit the full 16x9 image in a 4x3 space). You do not miss any of the picture in this format. The image appears in a smaller part of the 4x3 screen, and on an HDTV that is performing pillarboxing (black bars on the sides), now you have black space on all four sides of the image. ESPN's standard def channel does this.
Those are the two options for properly handling this issue. Mediacom chose a 3rd, incorrect option, which is to horizontally compress the image, distorting everything. No, the picture quality is not superior to the old MC22 productions, because those at least were an undistorted image. If you have distorted the dimensions of an image, I don't care how clear it may be, it's not an accurate representation of real life.
Picture may not be hi def, but it is not chopping like three of the games on cyclone.tv.
People will complain about anything.
"Waaaaa! The games are on Cyclone.TV"
"Waaaaa! The games we couldn't see on tv to begin with are only being picked up by Mediacom"
"Waaaaa! The games are in the correct format on MC22"

I like how they are running a play and resetting if it's not there. Hardly did that all game against Iowa.
