Big Ten Basketball 2019-20 Discussion

Yeah I was kinda confused at first but listening to Underwood’s discussion with the ref was pretty cool. Also being in both of those huddles felt really immersive.

It’s dangerous to have Pat Chambers mic’ed up. Underwood too for that matter. Chambers drops a lot of f-bombs during games.

I watched an XFL game last week and it feels a lot like that. Fox does do the XFL so maybe that’s where they got the idea to run if for a CBB game. Regardless I’m really enjoying it.

Here’s a press release covering the broadcast. Looks like it’s pretty new and rarely happens.

Meanwhile in Canada…no FS1.

This Illinois-PSU game is fantastic. Michigan is going to have trouble giving Rutgers their first home loss tomorrow.

What in the world has happened to Big Ten basketball?

Lol, Pat Chambers just went to go yell at Terry Wymer. “TERRY!! TERRY!!”

This is pretty awesome…

If you could choose two coaches from the Big Ten for this FS1 All Access feed who would you choose and why?

Nothing would entertain me more than Izzo during a game his team loses.

Juwan for obvious / biased reasons.

Give me Michigan/Iowa. I think it would be fun as a Michigan fan to be immersed in Juwan’s huddles. And Fran would be great during his inevitable meltdown. Hopefully they have a nice tape delay for that one.

Matt Painter and Juwan. Guys like Izzo, Chambers, Underwood, and Fran yell too much and complain to the refs. I enjoy listening to Painter draw plays up and counter what the opposing coach is doing. Juwan I just enjoy hearing him interact with his team. There was a moment last game where DDJ made a good play passing to Johns cutting on the baseline where he got fouled. Juwan yelled “Dave! Dave!” for him to come over as Johns was going to the line. I thought he was going to give him some feedback or a play or something, but he just looked him in the eye, shook his head, and gave him a high-five. Really cool interaction to see that would be great in a broadcast like this.

That’s gotta be a tech on Watkins, right?

Gotta say that Underwood and Chambers have both looked pretty good tonight. I think they were good choices.

This FS1 all access is awesome. Not gonna lie… hope we get a Um game mic’d up like this at some point.

This is incredibly fascinating! Neither coach is as annoying as I assumed.

Chris Collins just to see what a dead man walking sounds like. Call it morbid curiosity.

Someone else mentioned Painter. Sign me up for him, too. The snippets we get during regular broadcasts are always very insightful.

Looked like he (Watkins) was still talking a bunch of mess to Ayo while Frazier was missing those technical FTs.

Sorry for the triple post but my goodness is Purdue horrible away from Mackey against teams not named Northwestern (and Indiana…and Michigan missing its best-ish player).

Illinois w/o Ayo reminded me of U-M w/o Livers. Just… revitalized when they’re playing.
