Looks like we played pretty good! Even though ChatGPT doesn't know how to run a clock down properly.

Did the Athenian Dunders offer Ballard and DeGrey a better NIL deal while they were there?

Hahaha, it sure looks like it!

If someone with a smart phone did a video of the games in Greece and put them on youtube, the complaints here would be endless because it was such a poor quality feed. Then the complaints about players would go on and on.

All oit would have done is give those who love to complain something more to complain about.

Those who seem to want to see the glass half empty would have ample ammunition to support their assertion if these games were broadcast. A team with mostly new playe3s and 10 practices isn't likely to look polished.

The glass this year should probably be considered Schrodinger's glass. You never know if the g;lass is half full, half empty, full, or empty until you open the box. This isn't a good time to open the box.

There are ZERO technical reasons they can't broadcast it. Its a administration decision (or if for some reason the event prohibits it, but that hasn't been said anywhere). There is a massive amount of cheap easy technology that lies between your two examples (smart phone on the low end and a full ESPN broadcast on the other).

• 20:00 - Tip-off! The Athenian Dunders gain possession and start their offensive play with quick ball movement.

Ok .. losing the tip .. ChatGPT off to a realistic start

• 19:45 - Xavier Bell, the Wichita State's guard, puts on the pressure and forces a turnover, leading to a fast break layup for the Shockers.

Well .. that doesn't sound too realistic

• 19:30 - Jalen Ricks, the Shockers' 6'7" guard, displays his shooting prowess with a smooth three-pointer, extending the lead.

Well .. 3 steps in and ChatGPT has lost sight of reality

• 19:15 - The Athenian Dunders' Quincy Ballard, a dominant 7'0" center, scores inside with a powerful jump hook, putting his team on the board.

Oh no .. ChatGPT has gone crosseyed already ...

I would love literately any examples of this from any athletic department.

I have done zero research and could be off base, but I bet in the history of all NCAA basketball teams going overseas for preseason stuff the number of schools producing their own live stream is pretty damn small to non-existent.

Now no radio coverage… that’s something I can get on board to complain about.

Can I watch without a mask if I do it at home?
