My only irritation is that that my service provider response time is so slow when switching between streaming and "network" channels. I don't want to check on other games as often as I would like to becasue of the reconnect dead time.

I can't tell you how pissed I am at Peacock. I have an active account for which I'm PAYING but apparently not able to access tonite's game against UCLA! I am going to unsubscribe if I can figure out how to do so.

KJ>Clark>Epps>Bos>Curbello
Pre concussed freshman Curbelo is the 2nd best player on the list. Post concussed Curbelo is definitely the worst.

Id probably go Bos=Clark and both are better than Epps who is an undersized inefficient off ball guard.

Honestly, Boswells biggest mistake was reclassing(which is a mistake for a lot of guards that reclass imo though it seems to have worked out for Fears).

Boswell should be a sophomore with two more years to develop and a lot of his flaws would be more excusable. Instead he lost a year of eligibility where he barely played, NIL values were lower, and will likely have to try to play overseas after next year.

UCLA is 15-1 when they hold their opponent under 72 points. (3-5 when they don’t)

IL is 15-1 when they score more than 78 points. (1-7 when they don’t).

O/U total is 149 with a spread of 5.5. Implies a score around 77-72.

I’m leaning UCLA this game. Not sure if IL can score 79+ on them.

Boswell played over 15 minutes a game his freshman season on a team that was a #2 seed in NCAA tourney. I doubt he’s going anywhere as a freshmen and playing more than that on a team as good as Arizona was even if he stayed in high school another year. You can’t blame his freshmen season for why he hasn’t developed any into his 3rd year now. He just is what he is. He’s a bulky off guard that isn’t much of a PG, and has trouble finishing at the basket bc his athleticism is limited.

3 top BiG games tonight and most of us won't get to see them because they are all on Peacock. The Big channel has become nothing but Wrestling and a Hockey network. Makes me want to PUKE!
In other words, are you saying we should be happy to have PeaCock to view these games?

Sign up for a free trial. If you forget to cancel it costs you like $7.

Sure, be upset at the business model and having to go through an extra layer of hassle, but it shouldn't really prevent you from seeing the game.

All these folks complaining about dealing with different platforms...

Just get multiple TVs in one room with multiple devices to play multiple platforms like a real sports fan...

I don't think he would have lived up to the prep ranking but age is a huge deal and he won't turn 20 until April.

I just think his freshman year was a waste of eligibility that would be more valuable to him with NIL as a 21 year old senior instead of being 20. He was already young for his class and reclassing made that more noticeable.

I assume the game will be broadcast on WLS. Just real fine with me.
 
#199      
Or literally just find one of the millions of lets just say "not-official" streaming sites on the internet and watch the games there if you don't have the relevant app.

It's 2025 folks.....c'mon now lol

is there any chance the Kofi ceremony gets streamed?

The full ceremony probably won't be streamed on Peacock but they will show quick highlights if I had to guess, but I'm certain that Illini Inquirer or another local media outlet will have the full ceremony up during or shortly after the game.
