ESPN Struggles To Broadcast Kentucky-UConn Game

Currently, No. 4 Kentucky and No. 14 UConn are battling each other in an entertaining game -- a game with John Wall prominently involved -- at Madison Square Garden, no less. It’s a great matchup of two college basketball powerhouses, playing in prime-time, and did I mention John Wall? Sounds like a fun game, doesn’t it? Want to tune in and watch? Great! Just turn to ESPN ... oh, wait ... signal seems to be out. Again.

↵Yes, in one of this young season’s better matchups, the Worldwide Leader has already dropped the video feed twice, leaving Dan Shulman and Dick Vitale to essentially act like they’re calling the game on the radio. And fans ain’t happy.

↵

↵

Our own Chris Dobbertean: Oh goody...this broadcast has become "Theatre of the Mind."

↵

apayne1170: Is this espn or CBS college sports? Come on

↵

sethkjolly: Dear ESPN, please don't give me Dickie V as the radio guy if you're going to give me technical difficulties with the picture.

↵

↵The weather in New York City is fine tonight, and, ya know, it’s New York City, media capital of the world. So what could possibly be the reason for this?

↵

↵

Tuned into ESPN to watch a little Kentucky-Connecticut. John Wall is apparently so amazing that he causes the cameras to malfunction.

↵

↵Makes sense to me.
