The TBS presentation is so much better than Peacock (I gave in and shelled out for The Cock).

The game tonight was on par with an NCAA Tournament game. Good announcing team + a full halftime review. Disappointed there wasn’t a post-game show, but two OT games may have decided that.

The Peacock game, OTOH was amateurish by comparison. The announcers were meh. The worst was the “halftime show” of two analysts on a Zoom from their home offices.

I can’t comment on CBS Sports because the Kennesaw State game was like a bad fever dream - something like a Vietnam War movie hallucination scene.

Didn't tell us who fouled or number of team fouls. I didn't like the production at all

Yeah, the lack of info on team fouls was awful.
The on-screen scoreboard is amateur hour, does not tell you the number of team fouls, how close a team is to the bonus, how close to the double bonus, etc.. That drove me nuts, couldn’t believe it as Big 10 broadcasts always tell you total number of team fouls.

Brian Anderson and Grant Hill are one of TNT/TBS top duos if not their top. They typically call NBA games for the network.

Agreed.
The actual game production wasn't good.

I couldn't care less about announcing team (I usually don't listen to them) and especially have no interest in a halftime show. I'm watching the game myself - I don't need to listen to 3 other guys talk about it.
That's just side stuff.

We got lucky they were playing on the same court or else we would again had to shuffle around to another channel for the start of the game.
Something that frequently is an issue on cable subscription games.
