One odd thing and a big disadvantage the IUP student broadcasters have is they -- again ... very oddly -- aren't watching the game live. They set them up in the concourse without a live view of the game (i.e. they call it off the closed circuit feed on their monitors). There are many instances in a game when things happen off camera. Sometimes when they seem 'lost' during the game ... I believe this is a direct reason. They can hear the crowd yelling or screaming but won't know why. Jack and Tony broadcast from the media table on the floor (and basically right beside Joe Lombardi). They can see and hear everything. IUP only has a media table on one side of the court ... so there isn't room for them down there. The setup you saw in the Regional last year with media on both sides isn't the norm.
I'd be real curious to know how many people actually tune in to the game web broadcasts. It could be so few people that they just don't care enough about it. Hard to say. I remember in the early days of these live streams ... the bigger the game the worse the feed was. The more people logged in ... the buffering and freezing never ended.
