Seriously, whichever TV executive made the decision to put Marquette on CBS Sports more than DePaul and Georgetown shouldn’t have a job come next season.
I know Marquette wasn’t expected to be good this season, but to be on the secondary network more than a team who hasn’t won a Big East game in 2 years or haven’t been in an NCAA tourney in nearly 20? That’s borderline negligence.

No one outside of the fans of the teams involved will be watching regardless of the network. Going against a NFL playoff game won’t help ratings.

It’s not about this game in particular, but the fact that MU will Have played 3 of their last 4 games on CBS sports network. And a massive conference game against X in Mid-February is also going to be on CBS

Yeah!!! Yet another thread bitching about CBSSN.
We should be on FOX only.

All channels across the board. Otherwise the media hates us.

Normally I would be complaining about CBS as well but I found a nearby pizza place that has a dozen tvs
The owner puts two on in the corner for me and joins in . Random neighborhood people and some neighbors also come sit down an root for MU. Turned into an MU viewing spot for the last couple of years.
Oh, and he has a dozen local San Diego breweries on tap . For the last game a woman came in to pick up an order and came over to tell me her dad was at MU in"77.

In my defense I went through three pages of topics to make sure it wasn’t a repeat, and it wasn’t.
CBSSN sucks

Crying on two different threads about this and then making a thread of it's own. Someone's mad.
It's about the market.

I am mad, I didn’t think that was a secret?
-
I'm surprised they haven't swapped any of the games onto fox.
-
First world problem.
-
CBSSN buys these from Fox. Fox gets a premium for better games. Maybe it's a good thing?

WellsStreet... I am in San Diego this weekend. Where is this pizza place? Might have to stop by for a slide and brew..
-

Personally, I like the beginning of games as much as the rest of the game.
If I'm going to get mad, it will be at FS1 for having to miss the first part of games. Once Fox learns how to schedule, then I will get mad at CBSSN for something.
-
1970's TV coverage of Marquette outside of Milwaukee = 3 National TV games a year because of Marquette's status. Don't know how anyone can complain when every game is televised.
-
We’re lucky to have pretty much all Marquette games available on TV. I live in Kansas City, and my KU, K-State and Mizzou friends can’t get a good amount of their games on TV, yet I can see every game for my team. It infuriates them.
We’re going to have two TVs going tomorrow - one for Marquette and one for the Chiefs. Hopefully it will be a great sports day.
-

Fox and CBS will not swap.
-
If there is one thing America deserves, it's to be repeatedly subjected to Georgetown basketball

CBS Sports Net kind of sucked before they had widespread distribution. But now almost every carrier has it, so I don't get the complaint.
-
I'm going to be in San Diego on 2/7, I would also like to know the name of this pizza place.

True story. About a month ago, after a lot of procrastination and urging by my adult sons, I contacted my provider and told them I was going to switch to another provider because they charged too much. So they pull up my account and determine that I'm on a plan that no longer is available but the good news is they can switch me to a plan a lot less expensive. They ask about my viewing habits and I said I want the local affiliate channels and I watch a LOT of sports. Ok, here's what we can do..... So I am proud of myself for knocking about $60 per month off my plan (including internet). The next MU game, I turn on the TV and see they are not on FS1 and channel guide directs me to CBSSN. NOT AVAILABLE ON MY PLAN! I call the provider and have it added - for an additional cost.

Well, you could have said that in the first place.

I agree regarding DePaul, but Georgetown still draws the biggest ratings in the league. Many viewers haven't realized it's not 2013 anymore.

FS1 sold 22 Big East games to CBSSN, and to do so, they had to make the package attractive enough for CBSSN to buy it. It wasn't going to happen if they loaded the package up with all the unattractive games.
-
I am mad, I didn’t think that was a secret?
Out of curiosity, does your carrier not have the channel at all or is it that you don't want to pay for it with a higher tier plan?
-
I am just really glad there is a TV option for 99.9% of games. Not to go all old man...but oh how we have come from following the sports scores on headline news bottom scroll.
-
YTTV HAS Fox FS1 FS2 CBSSN. It will solve alot of problems.
-
Spring for the sports package?

I’ve got CBS sports net and I enjoy their production, even though it seems like I’m in the minority on that.
I can see how it would be annoying as an avid fan to have so many games on that network, but I suggest turning this into an opportunity.
3PM on a Saturday afternoon seems perfect for a trip to your local pub to grab a burger and several brews- maybe try to hit up one of the spots that’s known to show the Marquette games
-
Over the years cable companies and their "special sports" packaging has been a constant battle. The only way to keep ahead of them is calling prior to the season and playing "Lets Make a Deal." This year I moved to a community that has a publicly own high speed fiber network and bought YouTube TV streaming. I'm saving money and I don't have to deal with Xfinity's annual BS. (FYI, the community fiber optic network does not charge extra for consuming extra gigs or throttle back my connection speed. Welcome to what this century's Internet service should be.

I don’t get this. Who outside of GT alums wants to watch GT basketball? And most of the GT alums can’t want to watch GT basketball right now either. DC isn’t that big of a market either.

If Georgetown were good they would rank behind only Kentucky & Duke

I can’t recall the exact ranking but the Washington TV market is top 10 for sure.

It’s great. Don’t live in Wisconsin, but watching MU (at home) is always easy.
Dawson’s current team Minnesota regularly has several games each year without tv. Always been that way and still is today. It’s shameful

This is why God invented bars with tv's.

Just wait until the big east transitions to peacock

It would seem CBSSN chose wisely.

This might be the most laughable topic in recent board history. Marquette is on television every game - we should all be happy about that. CBS has been broadcasting the NCAA tournament since 1982. CBS Sports Network dedicates numerous hours a week to college basketball and produces a nightly highlight show with an excellent panel of analysts. Are you not getting the channel in high definition? Does Milwaukee not feature it as part its cable package? Did Dickey Simpkins move to CBSSN? What am I missing? This thread is nugatory!
-
^^^^^^^
-
Just upgrade your cable package to include CBS-SN if MU BB is important enough to you.
I believe our record with games shown on CBS-SN is pretty impressive.
Just saying, if they win on CBS-SN more than other network showings, all for showing on CBS-SN.
-
Reminds me of this

That wasn't that long ago. That was still a thing in the mid-90s. Early 20s at the time, so other things of greater interest some nights. Recall staying up about two hours past bar time one night to finally get an MU - I think Tulane score on CNN Headline News. And missing a large chunk of a game in the mid-90s because some coach was running up the score in a D3 football game. The MU - UC '97 C-USA semi was not on TV. Had to listen it to it vaguely coming in from a really cold car on WLW.

The entire broadcast of the Providence game was a MU love affair, cbssn made that decision with the final 4 team ceremony in mind. If I was a PC fan it definitely would've bothered me: crean interview during game play (wtf), coverage of the final 4 team, lots of time dedicated to applauding marquette. All of that on a nationally broadcast game, and still complaints from MU fans. It cracks me up how much people take issue with the broadcast, no one is making you watch.
-
The upgrade to include CBSSN for me would be about $30/mo, so I haven’t done it considering it would literally be just for this half dozen games. When I see that games are on CBSSN I go “oh goddammit” but I still count myself lucky that for all intents and purposes, FS1 is otherwise the Marquette basketball channel. We’ve been spoiled between the fox contract and the old pre-ESPN+ espn3 world in that almost all Marquette games have been available with any package that includes espn and FS1. Having to schlep to a bar for these couple games is a pretty small price to pay. I have a feeling that whenever the next BEast broadcast deal gets signed, accessibility is going to get worse, not better.
-
I dont know about you, but every time I go to a bar it costs more than $30.
-

Haha that’s right for me too. There’s a bit of a pennywise pound foolish thing going on. But having the motivation to get out of the house and post up is generally worth the difference.

YTTV HAS Fox FS1 FS2 CBSSN. It will solve alot of problems.
Yep, I have You Tube TV for 3 years now. Love it! Before, I had Spectrum Cable. Both have CBSSN in glorious HD. I enjoy the studio coverage and enjoy a network that has the rights to the NCAA Tournament cover the Big East Conference.
-
First time watching an Army-Navy basketball game. Does Bill Laimbeer have a son who plays for Navy?
This game is getting a little….heated
-
The March Madness theme song does get me fired up.
-
I cut the cord and went to YouTube tv. Haven’t missed a game yet! And I live in South Florida.
Remember the days when you had to call sports line in Nashville, where the Marquette score was buried with 200 other games. Or, living in Chicago, when an ultra low power station in Arlington Heights got the radio broadcasts of our games.
Only thing I’ll complain about is Dickey V. I laughed at Wally today when he picked the Hall and knew he was an idiot.
-
Someone tell Chitown that Marquette won since he was notable to watch the game....

Tuned in to WCBR in the 90's for the ska music, but did not realize til later they also broadcast MU radio.

No complaints from me. I’ve been able to stream every game here in Thailand. High speed Internet and good streaming options are a wonderful thing. The only pain involved is the 12 hour time difference from EST.

Hope you can make it stateside for a live game at some point soon

What about just changing the channel package for gamedays and switch back the next day?
I used to have to add DirecTV's sports package for 1 day to get some MU games prior to the FOX contract.
-
Had to call the MU SID office while home on spring break in '90 to find out if MU made the NIT. Didn't really want to wait 12 hours 'til the next morning.
-

That’s what I thought as well. Fox probably gets to protect a certain number of games. Someone at CBS is getting a promotion for scooping up Marquette games.

i like CBS Sports Network...they cover a lot of college basketball and also got sports betting stuff i like to tune into

In 2003, when we broke the "Carolina Curse," the win at Charlotte was not on TV anywhere. We listened to it on our alarm clock radios, in our apartment.

Yeah I remember going to the annex to listen to games on the radio over their sound system.
-
I don't know if it was chasing football glory as much as it was just a generally mediocre program making bad coaching decisions. I think we think of them more than we do because they were fairly decent when Marquette shared a conference with them in the early 2000s. But I had forgotten that they left CUSA to join the A10, a more basketball centric conference, when Marquette left for the BE. And outside of a couple NIT bids, did nothing there.
They then moved back to CUSA when they started up football, and are going to be in the American starting next year.

Back when my parents were kids, flying for vacation was a luxury most people could not partake in. They remind me of this whenever I complain about a late flight and tell me how lucky I am that I can even fly at all! ::)

My memory is a little foggy, but I think I was huddled around a friends computer catching a radio stream of the game. Yes kids, radio streaming existed back then, hah!

Charlotte (formerly known as UNC-Charlotte) has been a basketball wasteland for years. Can't possibly keep our homegrown 5-stars and high-4-stars, and haven't been very good at getting/developing the diamonds in the rough, either. And then, in the midst of their hoops malaise, they went out and started a D1 football program, too. And now that's a laughingstock as well.

It was a ridiculous play. That image is great but I could not believe he dunked from where he took off.
I wish there was some old game video of it. It wasn't televised but I know MU archives the BC in house feed.
