Both Pat and Kwan can shoot two pointers. Which are higher percentage than three point attempts. They both need to do so. Neither will be easy to block when taking that shot due to their length.

See, I didn't make any comments about the video but SOMEONE had to comment about the audio. Agreed, only in Akron.

Who are these guys and where were they on Tuesday?

We were horrible on the boards. The loss of Tree really shows.

This is hard to watch. And I do NOT mean the stream. Yikes.

They keep showing a label on screen on the feed of KD. But it is NOT KD, some guy with a crewcut (sorry, I don't know all the coaches). Did KD make the trip?

You have to pay for the video.

OMG I paid for the feed from SIDEARMS SPORTS and it sucks. Even worse than from the JAR.

Well. Almost got to watch the game. Not only is the video feed down, the audio is too. No video, no audio, nothing. Welcome to 1965

What a shame. The way this team is playing, this would have been an awesome season with Tree in there. I only wish for the best for Tree, he was one of our legendary players, and they can never take that away from him.

DIG, you are absolutely correct. But it is mind blowing that in 2014 a D1 State University with an enrollment of HOW MANY THOUSANDS does not have a high speed internet connection and in house IT personnel to make it work.

And here is the BS response (so no home games for us it seems): We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you very much for providing us with this forum. We recognize that this is a widespread issue and we will notify the school that they need to increase the quality of their video production. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know as we will be more than happy to assist you. Best, MeganStreaming SupportSIDEARM Sports335 Hinds Hall | Syracuse NY 13244

I sent them the following message at www.sidearmsports.com I suggest everyone message them if you are concerned: The video feed from the home games at the University of Akron has been just unwatchable. Awful. It starts and stops, then rewinds to what was already shown. Everyone is having the same issue, it is not my connection. Can you PLEASE PLEASE do something about this? The feed is less than worthless right now. Thank you.

You need to subscribe to an affiliated cable company in order to be able to access watchespn.com Cablevision now carries it, after years of petitions and requests. You need to keep after your provider.

Thanks for explaining. In my day, you got 4 years. The fifth was in Saigon.

What does he mean by a 5th year senior? He was not a red shirt, so he can only play four years. What does that statement mean?

We have been plagued with the forget to turn on the mic thing for years. Personally, I would prefer to not have to wait four years to be able to watch the games. I am a '71 grad, I may not be around in 4 years.

I have in fact contacted TW. No reply has been received.

Welcome to THE VIDEO SUCKS

One thing about Kwan - He takes long shots with what appears wild abandon. He is the one guy on the team who is not only not afraid to shoot, he LOVES to shoot. Last year the shots really were not dropping, and he looked wild and out of control. This year, they are dropping, his confidence is high, and KD is not yelling at him LOL.

So true. The way Kwan is playing, he could play for ANY D1 school. Before this season is over, there may be a few high major coaches wishing they had paid a little more attention to him. I can not think of any team that would not have a place for a 6'9" guy who can hit threes AND block shots.

The first time I saw Kwan play I posted about it, and I am sure I said several times least season that I wanted him to get more playing time. That being said, he took a quantum leap in the off season. He is like 10X the player he was last year. It may have something to do with that growth spurt: It takes time to get used to being 3 or 4 inches taller, and I recall that Zeke seemed a bit uncomfortable in his own skin back in the beginning. He was much more poised and athletic in his two last years.

And let that be a lesson to me: NEVER argue with DIG.

The other thing is we are playing cupcakes. Let's see if that holds up against the better MAC opponents.

Since I am THE USUAL SUSPECT, I am delighted to see this thread. Finally The Nation has woken up to the problem. Today, right on cue, I received yet another mail solicitation for money. They won't be happy when they pay the pre-paid postage to get the envelope back and it contains a complaint, not a check. So it looks like a decade of posting THE VIDEO SUCKS has finally gotten someones attention. Thank you!
