Live blog: Cat-Griz hoops...CANCELLED
The live blog is off. It's blacked out or something. DirecTV offered zero help. Could not provide a reason for anything. Very very awful customer support. It included trying to explain my problem to an automated receptionist. Just really terrible.For the Griz, this is the first step in erasing a disappointing non-conference season. It's also a chance to pick up an impressive road win and potentially re-establish themselves as the favorite to win the conference.
For the Cats, it's a chance to kick their rivals while they're down. They looked great in non-conference play and a win here establishes them as a Big Sky power.
For those still in Big Sky country, this game is on KPAX. For all of those wishing you were, it's on DirecTV channel 693. Just a reminder: it's free.
A live blog with complete with scores, analysis and rants is after the jump. Pregame
I just want to make note of this: if we lose, I'm going to be really upset. Every other Griz fan should be as well. No matter what happens, there are no moral victories. This is a rivalry game, and a big one at that. We haven't beat a D-1 team in more than a month. We need a 'W' fellas.
Also want to note that I'm going to try and go with less updates. I want to enjoy this. The last couple have gotten a little out of hand.
It's 6:02 and no TV yet. Trying not to panic. Not only has the channel not switched over, but my satellite signal is going in and out. WONDERFUL.
1st Half
I'm switching to audio. Very upset.
I'm resetting my satellite receiver while listening to Mick. This blows.
17:00 6-3 Griz
We've supposedly been running the offense well. I wouldn't know because I can't see the damn game. Wow, this is wonderful. The Guide says it should be on. Right now I'm getting 'Searching for satellite signal.'
15:22 8-6 Griz
Well, it's good to see we're starting out in front. Something we really needed to do on the road. A 5-7 point lead would be nice coming out of this media timeout. I believe CET started over Martin but I could be wrong. I liked how that lineup worked against Fullerton. Only problem comes with CET's free-throw shooting down the stretch.
No Idea
DirecTV has terrible customer service. I cannot get ahold of them. My internet is going in and out so I can't listen. Great.
