Going to OT after Belo hits a shot at the buzzer.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Bobcats win 80-77 in OT.

It's starting to look like the women's title game. EWU leads Montana 31-11 with 4:48 to go in the half.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Eagles lead by 29 at the half.

Right where I quit watching. Or Pluto decided I was done watching...

Is Pluto really that unreliable? I use WatchBigSky and almost never have any problems.

It’s much better now. When it freezes just channel up or down and then back.

Better than it was. I watch some of the old TV shows and movies on it as well as the conference games. Its usually fine for 2-3 hours, then it starts to freeze up.

[Mvemjsunpx]

EWU up 18 early in the second half.

Pluto has been solid for me. Occasional freeze to buffer but other than that it's been pretty smooth. Been watching on either laptop or fire stick.

MSU-SUU game has probably been the best game of the tournament. Watched most of the EWU destruction of UM. I don't have access to ESPNU so no title game for me. Looks like EWU has a comfortable margin at the moment.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Eastern wins by 10. It wasn't all that interesting of a game to watch, honestly. It lacked that Joe Cravens magic.

Cravens is a good listen. I hope he is part of the 5 year extension in Boise.

Congrats EWU.

Those Bobcats were like an ‘ol garden snake. Keep whackin ‘em but they just won’t diiiie.

MUS's size played well against SUU, was thinking it would be a good watch against the Groves brothers of EWU.
