According to Roku support, Roku TVs or devices do not come with the ability to surf the web on the TV-- they do provide streaming video and music.    In addition, there are no channels from the Roku store at this time that allow you to install a web browser on the Roku TV.

I am really surprised by that since they are in competition with smart televisions.

I use a chromecast, which allows you to broadcast your phone or laptop to the tv screen - at least, I use it on those rare occasions when my family lets me watch basketball on the big screen.

Yeah, I guess I do the equivalent, but with my iPhone to my Samsung television.

I haven't done screen mirroring or Chromecasting to my Roku TV yet.  It is just easier for me to view the stream on a Chromebook if I can't directly view it on the Roku TV without screen mirroring.

With Chromecast its not a straight mirror.  You can still use your device while its playing, which is helpful.

I thought the Roku allows for internet browsing.  If that is the case, just bring up the athletics department schedule and open up the BoxCast or Stretch Internet feed.

At least for NYU you can add Team1 to your Roku channels, at least with the device, so I presume you can also with Roku TV.

That is correct, and I already had Team1 on my Roku TV for at least a year-- I already watch Hoopsville on my Roku TV on the Team1Sports channel, and I watched the D3Hoops.com Classic a few weeks ago on Roku TV's Team1Sports channel as well.

To Chromecast, I will have to specially order a $30 Google Chromecast dongle (which Amazon sells, BTW), which I would then plug into the Roku TV through an HDMI portal.  With the dongle, then I can start Chromecasting from the Chromebook to the Roku TV.

Are they $30 now?  That seems expensive.  I think I paid $15 for mine.  They don't so much on their own, so I'm not sure what you're paying for.  I do use it a lot, though.

JC DeLass has just reported that there will be a delay in the start of the doubleheader between Chicago and Rochester due to a light bulb on one of the baskets at the Palestra blowing out.  The light bulb blew out on Chicago's warmup basket.  The Maroons  mens team is temporarily off the court while repairs are being attempted.

In other news, Rochester's Mitch Kershner is most likely out for the season with the ankle injury that he sustained in last Saturday's game vs Emory-- according to JC DeLass's commentary.

Wash U at Emory are in warmups-- Game about to start shortly.

It looks like either repairs did not take too long at the Palestra, or the officials allowed the game to start on time anyway.

Rochester leading over Chicago, 11-0 with 15:04 left in first half.

Wash U off to a 8-0 lead over Emory in Atlanta with 12:22 left in first half.

Warmups between CWRU and NYU now underway at DI St. Francis College of Brooklyn (NEC), where NYU's UAA home games will be played and streamed from this season.

The building is the Daniel Lynch '38 Gymnasium in Brooklyn Heights, NY.

Glad I just added Mr. Ice in the Veins to my fantasy team yesterday before the game. LOL.

In all seriousness, he seems to have breezed through the NC schedule. I presume I should temper my expectations when the UAA kicks in. Maybe 20 and 10?

Bobby Hawkinson's 20/10 games so far this season-- He had a 20/10 game in 6 of the 10 non-conference games played this season:

1.)-- 11/5/2021-- Mount St. Vincent-- 20 points, 14 rebounds

2.)-- 11/10/2021-- at Farmingdale State-- 21 points, 15 rebounds

3.)-- 11/23/2021-- SUNY Maritime-- 25 points, 15 rebounds

4.)-- 11/28/2021-- at Old Westbury-- 21 points, 14 rebounds

5.)-- 12/10/2021-- at Hunter-- 22 points, 22 rebounds

6.)-- 1/12/2022-- at Misericordia-- 32 points, 15 rebounds

One caveat:  In the game at Hobart on November 20, 2021-- played in Geneva, NY-- where NYU lost by 28 points-- only loss of the season so far for the Violets--

Bobby Hawkinson fouled out of the game at Hobart only scoring 7 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 26 minutes of action.

Bobby Hawkinson comes into the UAA averaging 19.8 ppg and 13.8 rpg (This includes the Misericordia stats, which the UAA has not yet put in on their league page, but NYU has on their team website).

19.8 ppg-- #3 in the UAA (behind Matthew Schner's 20.3 ppg for Emory, and Jack Nolan's 20.5 ppg for Wash U)

13.8 rpg-- #1 in the UAA, #6 in NCAA DIII men's basketball

So the question is, can he maintain a high level of production in the UAA? Are there a few teams in the conference that have bigger front courts that will be able to neutralize him to an extent. The one loss NYU has, Hawkinson was nonexistent.
