980 isn't working for most. Anyone able to find an online feed? Nothing on Justin or ChannelSurfing.

Haven't been able to find it online anywhere either. This sucks. I hate ESPN-U.

We just look flat...not cutting hard, not moving the ball crisply and Austin has been ice cold

The other thing that seems to have been lost in our poor rebounding is that the last few games we've shot very poorly. I've never seen us have a team-wide slump for a couple games like this. Against Pitt, we shot 35% on FGs and 30% on 3s. Against ND, we shot 41% on FGs and 22% on 3s. So far in this game, we are shooting 35% on FGs and 30% on 3s. That's just not the %s were used to.

Looks like we hit a few shots, we're up to 42% on FGs this game. Always fun trying to follow a game on GameTrack.

ESPNEWS has been cutting in occasionally so keep an eye out. Of course they cut in when we were down 3 just now and saw PC make it 10.

Thanks. I've been watching Nova-Louisville and they cut in once in a while. I'll try flipping over to ESPNNews. But if things stay the way this game is going, I may just not want to know until it's over. How does Greg have no points with 2 minutes left in the 1st half? Not good.

It's not so much about scoring or rebounding, but defense. These guys are shooting close to 50%. I thought it was tired legs the last 2 games that caused the holes in the D that I saw. Might be something more chronic.

Nice run to end the half. Only down 3. We have to play with more intensity and continue to box out.

just a terrible first half. it drives me insane that every year we have no clue how to attack a zone. it seems our plan the first 15 minutes was to pass the ball around the perimeter for 30 seconds then force up a shot as the clock runs out. we improved the last 5 minutes but geez, it's not that hard. too many turnovers as well.
i just don't understand what happened to us defensively. they are driving by us like we're nailed to the floor. again though, better the last few minutes of the half.
III needs to chew them a new one at half. if we don't win this, we're in trouble.

First half Monroe only takes 1 shot (!!!!!!!), they shoot 55% from 3-pt, we commit 8 turnovers to their 4 turnovers, they grab 8 offensive rebounds and we're only down 3. Count ourselves lucky. That was a bad half of basketball.

I just noticed that they have Madden Nation on ESPN2. Honestly? I know they are trying to get more subscribers to ESPNU, but at least have another game on ESPN2, not a crappy show about video games that no one watches. I love Madden too, but I don't want to watch other idiots act like its the Super Bowl. Show me sports! That's what your network is about. It's like MTV not showing music videos. What's the point? You are already paying to broadcast multiple games around the country on ESPNU and ESPN Full Court, just put one of those -- I don't care which one, hell put Kansas-Mich St, just any game -- on your primary networks. Broadcast Madden Nation at 2 am, not at 10 am. Arrgh! Ok, my rant's done. Sorry. Can't watch the game, so I have to vent about something somewhere.
In good news, it looks like we pulled it much closer at halftime and we are shooting much better and are actually tied on rebounds. We can do this. Let's go Hoyas!

We've had some really bad offensive possesions, especially in the first part of the half. Providence built their lead when we had 3 consecutive unforced turnovers.
