The coverage online has been much better than television.

They were trying to switch between GM-MSU, NC State-Cal, and UCONN-Albany. They switch to a game just as a timeout is called, switch to another game for 5 seconds, then switch back... I thought maybe I had been drinking too much.

They just did it again! They switch from Texas-Penn to NC-Murray State as they call a timeout, then had to quickly switch back to the Texas game.

Morons!

The term you want, m'friend, regarding CBS' programme director is ''bloody effing tonedeaf jerkoff jackoff incompetence'', which, given CBS' 30+ year record of incompetence should not be any sort of surprise, I'd guess.

And I'm not even rooting for any team in the tourney; couldn't care less who wins it.

A 16-seed is 12 pts up on a 1-seed (Albany/Connecticut), with 8:40 to play? Do we see this, except possibly on the East Coast? Of course not, we here continued to see an overrated 'big' 10 team lose to a supposed non-entity team that were 10 pts ahead with under a minute to play (George Mason (go Dr. Williams!) vs Mostly Slime U from East Lansing, MI).

Cheered up considerably when Bradley beat up on Kansas, though!

The lamestream alleged media can't even get it right as regards basketball, sheesh.

Here are two hints, putzes: 1) CLOSE games are much more interesting than blowouts, 2) A ''nowhere'' team challenging one of your favourite teams strongly is far more interesting to the average viewer than keep the camera focussed on BigBad U cleaning out Whatchacallit State.

Well I suppose they should keep their sports reporting in lock step with their news reporting. Online being better of course. ;)
