Howard 11/28 7:00 ESPN+

Wow I mean Wow. What an unexpected outcome.

Or steal. Great turnover.
Any win is great

[GoBearcats31]

Biggest Win of the Season!

Will loom large in March!

Right now a Q3 win so definitely would’ve loomed large had they not pulled it out

[longtimefan]

Whew, John Newman with the steal at the end. Did anybody see it?

[TheLivingLegend]

Wes was bad tonight. Plain and simple.

Our defense has a LONG way to go.

I don't think I have ever seen a game where there was no instant replay. I thought that being in the Big 12 would stop us from watching games with this kind of production. I understood when we were in the American.

[Corporateballa]

sadly that was the best camerawork

facts! 🤣😂

[BearKatz]

I don't believe James saw the floor in OT? Not sure why, he was huge at the end of the 2nd Half... Wes needs to also improve!

Home team does productions. We took the game, so we get this; nothing to do with our productions or conference.

Ultimately, I'm glad they took this game. Howard is an NCAA tourney team and likely will be again. Much better to be sharpened by steel than softened by a cupcake.

[BearKatz]

Bottom line Gentleman, great win tonight!

This is the type of game needed to prepare us for X! UC gutted out a huge win on the road!

[Cyclone792]

The defense was frustrating to watch, but I'm relieved that the Bearcats pulled this one out. I don't know where this team will sit come March, but if they're on a bubble then "not losing" games like this are huge. At the same time, all road wins are nice to have.

Meanwhile I have to go take some ibuprofen - the TV production was so abysmal that it gave me a headache.

[Corporateballa]

Howard had a 10 game home winning streak. This is why Power Conference teams don’t play games like this. They’ll be in the tournament. I love this team. They have a lot of talent.

[Gmann]

Hard to watch but progress to play this bad and win on the road. We were losing all these games the last couple years.

Posted by an NKU student. Maybe this will slow down some of the name-calling and ignorant comments:

As a student at NKU when they entered D1, I worked basketball games and watched the production happen. At D1 schools with smaller budgets, the broadcasts are often done by students majoring in related fields and with broadcasters who are local to the area and are available for very little money.

Is it high quality? No. Is it as good as UC, a school with a significantly larger budget? Definitely not. But give these people credit for doing their best with what they got. They're working hard and their jobs just like we do.

Also, just as an FYI: ESPN+ is not ESPN. When you see a long list of smaller schools broadcasting games on ESPN+ or ESPN3, those are not "ESPN productions." ESPN is simply providing the platform of ESPN+/ESPN3 to air the productions of smaller schools that otherwise would have no audience.

I enjoyed the commentators - exuberant & not just dishing out cliches. I did find the camera watching an empty half court while Howard nailed a buzzer beater 3 to send it to OT pretty comical.
