CBS coverage stinks

[Abro1975]

I'm no big ESPN fan, but there is no comparison to when ESPN had the NCAA tourny contract. Games galore on TV. Right now, CBS only running a couple games a times slot . Maybe their online network is better, i haven't checked it out yet.

They are all on TV, it's just that the majority of them today and tomorrow are being played in prime time. I see no need for a half hour gap between games 1 and 2 today. Either move one of the other games up to stagger the starts, or start the first game of the day later. They do a great job now with the first 2 days. I think they do a lousy job with days 3 and 4.

CBS has had the NCAA Tournament contract since 1982.

Unfortunately in the past couple years they are showing a few games in the day as stand alones and then cramming a bunch of games making sure they do not end until 1am

air played to my TV...pure game watching with NONE of the bullshit CBS commentary...it has been perfection so far...

one of the best moves I've ever made was to get rid of cable tv...with streaming on-demand, I have actually watched the games I wanted, without having to listen to charles barkley and all the other clowns' pointless commentary

Beautiful!

The gap between games 1 and 2 is because those 2 games are played at the same arena.

Huh?

Every game is on TV. Can't get much better than that.

As someone said, CBS has the afternoon games. Most games this weekend are prime time..staggered on CBS, TBS, TNT and TRUtv.

It does feel odd. Almost every other sport has many afternoon games and one or a select few night game on weekends. Baseball, nfl, college fb

The games need to be more evenly spread...games lasting past midnight on a Sunday are stupid

 

[Terry_2426]

The 9:40 start time for the last game tonight (which of course won't start before 10) is stupid, especially since its a Sunday night, but at least that game is on the worst coast and is a 7pm local start. The game in Columbus that started at 11pm a few days ago was terrible.
