Once again, the VS broadcast appeared very low budget - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Did you notice how long it took them to update the scoreboard after a shot? How about how many times the score went down on the screen after a bucket (for a few seconds). Combine that with the poor sound quality (sounded like a HS game) and you've got one unimpressive broadcast.

But you did get to see the game.

It will take some time for VS. to get up to speed as far as being a quality broadcast. Remember how unprofessional ESPN looked in it's first couple of years?

I loved how several times they showed close ups of the crowd or players running down the court. By the time they got back to the game they missed all the play on one end of the court.

I'm with you Steel. There were so many times when the person operating the scoreboard was 1 or 2 possessions behind in updating the darn thing.

I've seen a lot of mtn. broadcasts that were much higher quality than the garbage we saw today. Also the color commentator Tim McCormick....wow that guy was just terrible.
