These back to back televised games always cause you to miss the first part of the second game...I don't know why, but a college basketball game now takes 2 hours and 15 minutes. It hasn't always been this way, and it's annoying as hell...they have to start scheduling these games around this.

Keep piling on the commercials and play reviews.

Yes, it is all the reviews...that's probably the biggest thing. So okay, if that's the new normal, don't schedule these games for 2 hour TV slots.

$100% chance the #1 vs #2 game starts on ESPN News today because of this shite. SEC needs to put their foot down because its absolutely ridiculous that coverage for every game basically starts 10 minutes in.

Screw ESPN and screw Sankey

The amount of flopping for free throws is up 400%

I shouldn't have to go to my ESPN app to watch a game scheduled for their TV programming. Sometimes you're in a situation where you can't use your app so you just wind up missing 20% of your game. It's bullshite.

Fact.

ESPN won’t start AU/UA until probably 3:30. We’ve gone backwards when it comes to coverage.

Not really. There are usually enough reviews and other bullshite that coaches don't need that many timeouts at the end of games.

Dead air is lost money and they’ll take the overruns every day of the week and twice on Sunday rather than not have a game going.

Unfortunately it is what it is.

2 hour sluts are the best. You get 1 minute and a half sexy time. Followed by free hour and 50 minute house work labor that your mad wife assigned. Then 3 minute sexy time at the end.

Damn. Misread title. How do you delete posts?

Stop reviewing stuff that doesn’t need reviewing
Maybe go to nba challenge model and take away timeouts

The networks won’t give an inch. They want the game AND they want it over for the next one. They’ll come up with something where the clock keeps running, just like they did in CFB.

The last 2 minutes of a college basketball game last 30 minutes with the fouls and time outs. Unwatchable
