MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

I second the motion that IWU start webcasting games!

A thought I have had is that it would be great if there was a "standard" for the individual broadcasts.

Some of the video is superior to others, I am not a technical wizard, but it seems that studying the success of the schools who do it well would be helpful. I think Elmhurst does a great job with video, I also remember Wash U. has a nice quality full court shot.

It would be a real feather in the cap of the league if they took on the challenge of getting some sort of standardization and quality equalization effort.

If it meant I had to pay a fee for the right to view the games live and then archived, I would gladly pay. Sometimes when watching a webcast, I see there are 50 or so viewers watching. Maybe the limited need is why it is not being done. Everything has a cost, but it seems it would be a great project for the school's AV departments or classes to get this done.

One portal to view all the games, the live stats and listen to the individual school broadcasters. Sometimes when multiple games are going on, I have so many browsers open. it would be cool to click around on one site and watch in some sort of split screen mode.

I know its a lot to ask, but I dream of a day when this happens!

We also have a pretty good platform for promoting a team's video broadcasts in D3hoops.com -- schools that promote their links on our site should be picking up at least a little traffic from those links. But that requires a school log in and post scores and such as well, and not every CCIW school is very good at that.

Illinois and New York are the biggest users of D3hoops.com, consistently, according to our user statistics. There is interest.

All of the MWC games and many others are available free on the Penn Atlantic system. The quality is pretty good for the most part, and the local announcers do a nice job, except that since there is no running score on the screen, some of them do not announce the score often enough.

I would love to have IWU get video streaming of IWU men's and women's basketball games up and running. I too enjoyed the Elmhurst video link and commentators. Perhaps something that Student Senate funding and WESN should pursue. They could also stream productions from the Music and Drama schools as well . . . why not? Any video streaming of football games in the CCIW?

I'm always left confused after going to a Wheaton at North Park game. What point is the student section trying to make when they chant "Daddy's money!". Is it that as North Park students they pay for their own education and Wheaton students have parents to take care of the bills? Or are they claiming that Wheaton costs more in general and all Wheaton students are rich? Or is it something else?

I watched the North Park video stream and also remember that -- I think it was while Tim McCrary was shooting FT's. The color commentator, Mr. Sager, referred to it as "a socioeconomic statement." (He said that light-heartedly, FYI.)

So I guess North Park students are slummin it.

The Elmhurst website and the North Park website have conflicting start times as to Saturday's game. EC lists it at 7:30 while NPU and D3Hoops state it at 4:30.

Does anyone know for sure when the game starts?

Pat Coleman · February 08, 2011, 10:19:19 PM

I would go with the home team. Actually -- I would go with Elmhurst.

IWU women over Millikin tonight at the Shirk, 71-58. Stacey Arlis with a monster game, 26 points on 11-11 from the field. Big game now at Wheaton this Saturday -- for the women and the men's teams. Keep it rolling TITANS!

This morning, the Elmhurst website also shows the game starting at 4:30. Makes for a nice Elmhurst @ NPU and IWU @ Wheaton doubleheader.

you would be late to the game then!

Pat Coleman · February 09, 2011, 10:22:01 AM

Pete mentioned.

Well like always "nothing that makes sense EVER gets done at Elmhurst." Don't count on the website. It is rarely ever accurate.

I think NPU has a very good shot tonight.

TitansIWU · February 09, 2011, 01:16:25 PM

I think NPU will pull off an upset tonight.

79jaybird · February 09, 2011, 02:09:00 PM

I do too and don't view it as an upset.
