Are these feeds really choppy for anyone else?


The Buffalo feed was crystal clear for me.  Of course, they changed it to the scoreboard feed at the start of OT and made it unwatchable.

BG's looked like it was filmed underwater.

I'd get 5-7 seconds of video then freeze for 2 or 3.  Really annoying.

All three were crystal clear for me. 

Could be your internet speed and/or graphical processing power of your computer. These live streams used to stutter something TERRIBLE for me. Upgraded to a new laptop a couple weeks ago and they are all magically beautiful.

Outside of NIU pulling the upset, we got pretty much the easiest draw possible. Neither of those 3 teams worry me at all. I hope that EMU or Miami pull the upset so we get a crappy team playing their 4th game in 5 days on friday night so we can win big and rest up for saturday

I'll tell you what, Miami doesn't have much talent but that team plays hard and they will defend.

They gave us all we wanted and then went into BG and knocked them off pretty easily tonight.  Considering how EMU played against NIU I wouldn't be surprised to see a Miami - Western quarterfinal game. 

Miami is a team I wouldn't want to play right now honestly. Not that we couldn't/shouldn't beat them again but you know you're going to be in for a slow paced, low scoring, mucked up, defensive struggle, dogfight.

They'll try. 11th in the conference in defensive efficiency.

I'm assuming that rates them on a per possession basis to eliminate pace? The fact that they slow the game down so much certainly aids in their ability to keep the score low, but it's a perfect strategy for a team that lacks scoring and talent like they do.

The fact of the matter is they had a very good chance to hold OU and BG both under 50 points in back to back games and were VERY disruptive on the defensive end in both games. Neither team got a ton of good looks and their shooting percentages reflected it. BG shot about as bad as we did the other night. 

My money is still on us playing Western in the semis, I'm just saying I wouldn't be completely shocked if it ended up being Miami. I see them as keeping the game close and the score low and frustrating for whomever they play.

Definetly not internet speed, I get about 45 MB/s, and it's only the mac-sports feeds that I have a problem with.  ESPN3 and all the school based feeds come in fine.  Oh well, shouldnt have to worry about it any more this year :)

You assume correctly. As far as the Ohio game goes, I saw a lot of missed shots, put backs, layups, etc. If they shoot even decently, they rip that game open. And BG... well, BG doesn't have many people who can score. You're right, though, they're going to give it everything they got. That Miami-EMU game is going to be looooong.

Two games tonight:

Buffalo -3
Ball State   (6:30)

Miami -3
Eastern Michigan (9:00)


Surprised to see Miami favored and I figured Buffalo would be favored by more.

FWIW I'm taking Ball State and Miami in tonight's match-ups. I think those two teams are playing much better now than they have all year up to this point.

Haha yep I went 0 fer the night! Ball St completely unraveled in the 2nd half and Miami appeared to run out of steam with their 3rd game in 6 nights.
