I've seen parts of the Finebaum show.. It's not good. Visually, it's kind of beyond boring. Pawl and his callers are best left to the medium of radio.

FWIW, they're also showing Kentucky's basketball games in the Bahamas August 14-16 against the Dominican National Team and one of the French squads.
