Thanking me for my patience is an erroneous assumption which annoys me. Do not assume I have patience. I have none. I will see how it goes but the clock is ticking. No excuses. I paid for a month! not one game

Down 79-74 with 49 seconds left.
1-5 on free throws in final two minutes. Costly turnover by frosh Johnson on fast break that opportunity for a good scoring chance.
Should be a one possession game.

Worcester loses internet connection Telegram & Gazette Staff
Internet connections are down in parts of Worcester Monday, causing problems with remote learning for schools.
The loss of the internet has affected credit card processing by local merchants.
In an alert, Spectrum expected service to be restored by early afternoon.

Lots of good things out of this game. I liked what I saw. Gates is a nice get. AB solid. This team will progress and hang up a few wins. I am very optimistic

Game must have ended 10 minutes ago, yes ? Last I saw HC was down 8 w/10 seconds to go and BU at the foul line. Consider it OVAH. They sure spent a hell of a long time on replays, etc., when the only one that warranted one was the ball that hit Butler's foot down the stretch. In one case, iced our foul shooter, Martindale, had to wait at least as long as a time out to shoot.

Clearly rock bottom is behind us. The program is restocked with talent and potential. Now it's a matter of developing a winner.

Gametracker froze at 3:58 remaining, and never updated. Gametracker is separate from ESPN, and is part of Sidearm sports.

I am very optimistic Lost opportunity today but there were some nice positives. Coulibaly looks like a big kid. Hopefully he can play because we really need another big to contribute in the frontcourt.

Tough loss but a lot to be encouraged about.
-Gates is a monster -Butler looks much improved -Wade looks much improved -#1-2-3 backcourt combo of RJ-Bo-Bubba looks like they are going to be fun to watch for the next four years -Defense, toughness, and aggressiveness looks better than it has in the last 10 years
We are in a very promising place for Game 1 of Year 2 in a complete gut rebuild. I am excited to see where we are for the Feb 21st finale vs BU.
That feed was unacceptable. Someone from HC (Blossom, Bare, etc.) should address where the issue was (HC vs ESPN) and have it fixed by the next game.

Need better rebounding & free throw shooting.

Those who think Stadium sucked and thought espn would be better don't get that it's a source issue: a combination of lousy HC equipment and horrendous Charter WiFi.

Not terrible. Some really good things. Some things to work on. Loved to see Austin looking healthy and taking charge out there. Loved Wade looking so much more comfortable and confident. Young guys show a lot of promise. Gates, as they say, is a man among boys.

Feed issues aside, user experience was light years ahead. Being able to use a Smart TV app to access the game in a couple clicks, not have to watch brutal pre-roll ads every time you reset the feed, and having a clear picture + game presentation (scoreboard, ads, etc.) when there weren't feed issues were night and day from the rinky dink Stadium operation.

I'm not sure why Walter Whyte is out (maybe he refuses to wear a mask?), but we are certainly benefiting from that. He's their best player. I was going to ask that. Have the announcers not addressed this at all? As you say, he is their best player. Almost a sure 1st team All-PL if healthy. He has Chemistry Lab in the afternoon.

To be honest, I have watched many ESPN+ and ESPN3 broadcasts in the past - have to say I never encountered anything like today.
Disappointing to lose, but to me, outside of the foul shooting, the majority of improvements needed can be accomplished with experience. Yes, Walter Whyte is their best player and didn't play....but we have more guys on our team with room for growth.
Love GG....but he didn't really remind me of Malachi. Malachi played inside and outside offensively, while GG seems to do most of his work around the basket. He seems to be quicker and more fluid than Malachi was. Definite load!

Have the announcers not addressed this at all? As you say, he is their best player. Almost a sure 1st team All-PL if healthy. Saw a pre-game note on Twitter that 4 guys were unavailable for BU. So, either disciplinary or Covid-related you would think.

Thanking me for my patience is an erroneous assumption which annoys me. Do not assume I have patience. I have none. I will see how it goes but the clock is ticking. No excuses. Have you complained to the HC administration? I have watched over 60 ESPN+ games this year - from more than 30 venues - and had zero problems. The feeds from Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette, Colgate, Army, and Loyola worked great this weekend.

The Telegram and Gazette reported there were internet problems today throughout Worcester so it may not have been either ESPN or HC at fault.
