NBCSports needs to get out of the College Basketball business...
The coverage is awful. Worse than Vern...
Scotty Boynton?
Why is Stan Van Gundy calling the game?
The camera angles are brutal!
Go Gators!

Van Gundy is good. Just curious why he is announcing a college game. I laughed when they asked him "do you want to schedule tough games so early"...

College basketball should get of the business of playing games on ships.

This. Stan is awful, but he doesn't have much experience in broadcasting. Can't hold the camera angles against them, but yeah it brutal to watch. The lighting is bad too with that super bright board along the sideline.

I understand the limitations of the angles on the ship. They have some decent ones. Then they were showing us the game from what seemed like upper deck. It was terrible. Stick with the best angle you have.

The single worst produced game I ever saw broadcast and that counts rural America HS games.

At least you got a half. We never tipped off in Charleston.

Why not?
It's basically an exhibition game. They put on a show for some Navy peeps and when the game was perceived as dangerous they called it a night.

My only problem was the reporter that kept pressing and interrupting to try and get her interview.. So annoying.

Let's not forget about the ticket prices. People payed north of $1,000/seat to watch one half. It was a ripoff then, and it's worse now. A total embarrassment to the people who put it together.

They're good in the other sports on their network and it was admittedly a tough task given the limited space on the ship itself, so I'll try to not hold the extremely poor camera angles and production against them...
