NSIC Week 9 chat

[Purple Mav Man]

That was a crazy make by him. Mason had a beast of a game, not many would have guessed for him to have a game like he did tonight

Typically the Mavs lose when they don't play any defense. This night they contested and played D for the most part, but Nothern hit the shots. Someone queue LMFAO and Lil Jon.

Mary wins 101-87, this is easily the low point of the season. Offensively the ball stops moving and there is little dribble drive activity. Defensively theyre easily thrown out of rotation and surrenser numerous wide open 3s each game. Sure theyre young but this is baaad basketball and apparent to anyone who is watching.

First thing Billeter talked about in the post-game interview.

Trevon Evans has to be near the top of the list for most impactful NSIC transfers of the last several years.

He’s hit some huge shots at the end of this one and it looks like USF will survive a scare and keep their postseason hopes alive.

Pretty underwhelming Hawaiian Night crowd, but we got the win. A more pedestrian 19/7 for Bruggeman. Schafer and Lee combined for 40 in the win.

This was the first SMSU weekend sweep for both men's and women's basketball teams since Jan. 21-22, 2011.

Who would have expected that from Stark?

Northern had a lot of buckets as the shot clock was going off. Mavs seemed to be playing uphill the entire game. Another home loss. Mavs can play Northern close but can't get over the hump. Looks like Northern will be the regular season champs.

Barely talked about the game the entire second half....but did explain that he “ sh_t proverbial bricks back in the day before he had to do a radio show.” And then went on to say how good he is as analyst and may need to go see what other job opportunities are out there for his talents. If you can see archive broadcast the last 10 minutes of the Moorhead game you won’t believe it.

To be fair you're spoiled because.....no one compares to, NO ONE COMPARES TO Steve d'Eustachio!!

He does do a really good job...couldn’t believe the two Mankato guys...I think they may be volunteer students or something, but good grief...

Augieholic beat me to it. Hearing about Steve's ex-wife and their divorce and how they "make it work for the kids" was one of several highlights in the Augie/Moorhead a few weeks back.

I’m okay with some of it...don’t need basketball analysis the entire game, but Mankato guys almost didn’t talk about the game the entire second half...and it was a close good game. If it was 30 point blowout I might give them benefit of doubt.

I'm sure they are both volunteers and students, so I commend them for that. And for getting experience. I agree that the long dialogues unrelated to the game were largely irrelevant, and unnecessary.

[Stanger86]

Oh they have actual TV guys at Mankato now? For years they just used the old guy who does radio

I love the free NSIC games we get to watch. However, Mankato’s was among the worst of the year. The announcers weren’t great and they try to do too much in producing the game. I commend the effort, but too much camera switching and zoomed in way too far most of the time.

Fealt like I was watching an episode of NYPD Blue (that was a great show) viewing the St. Cloud feed on Saturday.

Aside from the announcers (who I don't mind as I don't expect much from a free, student produced broadcast), the MSU feed is typically one of if not the best in the conference. Outside of the Midco games which DB does a great job. The MSU video feed is crystal clear HD, by far the best I've seen in the conference outside of the Midco games. But yeah, sometimes the switching of the cameras is a bit much. But I do like the behind the basket (amchored on backboard) cam they've added recently on free throws.

I just wish the product for MSU on the court could match their HD feed at home. They are road beasts but at home......they are too polite of hosts.

[MisterWizard]

Agree with the comments on MSU HD broadcast. By far the highest quality video feed I've watched among all of D2.

Btw, at least your games (and everywhere else I've watched in D2) are free. Except the MIAA.

And don't get me started if you want to bounce around and watch multiple MIAA games - every time you switch games you have to login again, and the various buttons and clicks are more painful than simple a login screen. Come on MIAA - you can't be making much on this, so just quit charging.

PS - if you are going to charge, then get rid of the various commercials including the Marriott ad I have to watch every time I do switch to another game.

Totally agree on quality of the video...it is terrific. Announcers just need to realize that many times less actually is more. But I applaud their clear passion and dedication.

Mankato deserves praise for having such a clear picture. When it comes to that, Bemidji, Minot and Northern are near the bottom. As far as commentary, it's not as easy as it looks so I try to not be too hard on people as we are lucky to have what we have. It's just like music, everyone has their own flavor so just to me and the things I've heard over the years, especially since moving up this way, the Moorhead dude is at the bottom of the barrel. Again, I don't hear every game but even listened to some when just driving around, and he has said some awful things about teams and has the most awful voice I've ever heard on air. Again, to each their own.
