Looks like Williams/Bohannon will have their hands full this first game... Their matchup averaged 18 PPG last year
 
That would be nice to see the second group get some quality minutes. Would really like to see some meaningful time for Ellingson and Moss. It would be great to see someone really step in to that role, to spell Jok for 5 to 10 minutes. I think if we push him to 35 minutes per game, you'll see a drop off in his production. Just need to leave Pete in for good stretches when he's hot. As we've seen, when he's on he can fill it up in a hurry.

Did anybody else have problem with video quality on BTN2GO? SIAP but my picture was really bad, like 1980's vcr bad. It would go HD for a minute then go back to sucking for most of the game.

Initially mine was '80's VCR bad, but that only lasted a minute. After that it was fine.
 
Looking a little closer at the Kennesaw St stats, this will be an interesting game from the perspective of experience vs talent. KSU will start senior PG and center/ Iowa's will be frosh. Their PG, Kendrick Ray, averaged 18.7ppg, 36% from 3. However, he's not great at ball-control: 2.8asts/2.5TOs per game. CW could cause him problems if he has trouble holding onto the ball already. Both of their starting guards (one of them has graduated) averaged 18ppg last year, so they've been an outside-in team. The returning C and PG were their leading rebounders, so we might get a better idea of where we stand there. Can't wait!

My BTNPlus feed was actually surprisingly good compared to years past. My only complaints were the sound engineer screwing up the mic levels and the fact that they forgot to come back from the TO for a minute or two in the second half.

My picture quality was great. Except for the mentioned already performance of the guy responsible for turning the game back on at the start of the second half.

I gotta say, the one good thing I did when I bought my last PC was buying a smart tv instead of a monitor to hook it up to. I now envision the day I have it hooked up to a huge screen with a wireless keyboard and mouse and just sit across the room like some Bond villain watching the world I control on video screens. Maybe even another television or two so I can have more things going at once. I'm practicing my evil laugh and looking for a white cat to sit on my lap. Perhaps even what looks like a desk but is in reality a fridge, snack bar and whatever else assorted evil I can think of including a button that shoots nerf arrows across the room at the refs.

The evil Bond villain all while wearing a Hawkeye cap and shirt of course. I can see it.

Those are very lofty goals. What's next, President?

Picture quality may have been related to internet connection. A lot of times with internet streams, the picture comes in super fuzzy, then clears up once it gets going. If you had a bad connection, I could see how it never cleared up
