Based upon my observations, I'd say that it's about 75/25 in favor of D3 men's basketball webstreams having play-by-play announcers. It might even be higher than that.

It's substantially lower for D3 women's basketball. Lots of schools have PBP for men but not for women.

That last part frustrates me ... especially this day in age.

I agree regarding any disparity between broadcasting men's and women's sports.  There shouldn't be a disparity.  I would be surprised that the coaches of women's sports and/or a senior women's sports administrator on a campus would let that disparity happen or continue.

Not sure if it was mentioned previously, but Brandeis already postponed next weekend's games.

Not sure if it was mentioned previously, but Brandeis already postponed next weekend's games.

It was mentioned previously, and Brandeis has indeed postponed the January 14 and 16th men's basketball games vs Carnegie Mellon and Case Western Reserve.  In other news, Brandeis has also cancelled the Reggie Poyau Memorial Invitiational Track and Field Meet that was supposed to be conducted at the Gosman Fieldhouse on Saturday, January 15.  Also, in other news, Brandeis is going remote for classes from January 18 to February 1, and students do not have to return to campus for on-campus study until January 31.  Also in other news, no spectators are now allowed at any Brandeis home event for the time being-- the PCR test requirement for outside spectators to attend games is no more, and it has been replaced with a complete ban which took effect yesterday.

The Brandeis women's basketball games for today and next weekend are currently scheduled to be played.

Dave McHugh of Hoopsville was the first to break the story on the Brandeis postponement of next weekend's home men's basketball games.  He broke it one hour in his own "scoop" tweet before Brandeis confirmed it in their own tweet.

I had an extensive discussion on Thursday on this board with Dave and others when the news broke.

Just an update on the spectator policy--

As of now, Chicago is the only UAA facility still allowing spectators to attend events on campus.

The other 7 UAA facilities have banned all spectators from attending events conducted on their campuses through the end of January as a result of the omicron variant.

Anyone else experiencing technical difficulties picking up the Emory v Rochester men's live stream due to heavy internet traffic?  The game is being offered for free, so there must be a lot of people logging in-- I don't think that I have a problem with my Xfinity Internet connection.

JC DeLass providing commentary.

11:52 AM Eastern update-- Okay, it looks like the video and audio feeds are no longer cutting in and out.  Live stream looks steady now.

UAA Men's Basketball underway, and Mitchell Kershner of Rochester has already gone down early with an injury.  He is still banged up on the floor.

On video replay, it looked like Kershner landed on an Emory guy's foot on a play and twisted his ankle, according to JC DeLass's commentary.  Kershner is going to get support off the court, and an air cast is getting put on his right leg to settle down the pain, according to JC DeLass's commentary.  TC Price to replace Kershner on the court.

Hopefully, Mitchell Kershner will turn out to be okay.  According to JC DeLass, UR may take Kershner to a medical facility.

Kershner now off the floor, not putting any weight on his right leg.
