Only complaint so far is the BottomLine scoreboard being shown through the entire game. I find it highly annoying.

Looks and sounds like a great atmosphere. There is nothing like college basketball.

ESPN is doing a great job so far. The RF handheld is a nice touch, not something seen on a college basketball game that often.

What a game. Coach feeling up Erin Andrews at the end of half? Agree about the bottom line- This is a marquee matchup should be left out.

Excellent and exciting game.

Great production as well.

The bottomline should never be used on an HD broadcast except for the 28/58 update

Much greater defensive game than I expected to see. Memphis will not make it all the way in the tournament with that free throw shooting.

Did anyone else notice several video and audio dropouts on ESPN HD via D*? I noticed them sporadically on both of my HD receivers--seemed to be worse in the 2nd. half. Anyone?

Coach Pearl felt Erin Andrews up after the game as well! LOL

Had a few friends at the game last night. They said it was an amazing atmosphere. The city was buzzing all week.

As a Memphis fan it sucks that we lost, but it was a great game. Hopefully we will be able to meet again in the tournament and we can get some revenge.

I too was real upset with the video dropouts.

I also had some glitches, including a few brief (1 or 2 frames maybe) green flashes on the bottom 1/3 of the screen. This is on ESPN via DirecTV. Both the 73 channel and 206 (I have no idea if they are actually 2 different channels though). I also could have done without the bottom line for the whole game.

My wife is a giant UT fan, so she was quite happy. She has been on pins and needles for days and could barely stand it as the clock ticked down. It was a good game though as so often matchups like this that receive so much hype do not live up to it.

I also thought it was funny to see Pearl grabbing Erin and "welcoming her aboard". He is recently divorced also. ;)
