There is NO lacrosse sports category. The Albany / Syracuse game doesn't show up under the ACC Conf or the ACC Network.

Of course lacrosse viewing ratings will be low if people can't even find your content.

I can watch on my laptop, but the ESPN app on Roku and Apple TV gives zero over for Lacrosse.

that's because you were using up bandwith to learn about that cute Aussie who did the half time.

This is my first season really watching online exclusive streams, and it has made me greatly appreciate how much work goes into a high quality tv production.

Criticizing ND broadcast because of the high angles etc. Be grateful that you can watch a D1 lac game in a indoor football practice facility on an internet broadcast. End of story. Then you have people knocking announcers on these internet broadcasts. Some of these people are not close to professionals. They are SID staff etc. Enjoy the games & relize this is not Jim Nantz & Tony Romo on the CBS!

ESPN definitely heard the criticism last week about the Carolina cameras. This week's angles were fantastic, especially in the first quarter during face offs. I wish they went back to that camera regularly. Great improvement over last week's interstellar viewing.

Got some good news for you, DU, Cuse gals play Coastal Carolina in the Dome tomorrow evening at 1700 hrs.
Game's on the ACCNetwork and I'd be surprised if Little Miss Aussie Gal isn't doing the game.

Enjoy the commentary.

He may have just graduated but his voice and temperament make him seem about 50. He doesn't get unnecessarily excited or tend toward unnecessary superlatives. He's a minimalist in terms of talking -- doesn't feel the need to run his mouth the whole game, but does a great job of reminding the viewer of the time, score, shot clock, which team went on runs etc, all while calling the games solo. He even has bothered to understand the women's game and the rules, unlike most male announcers who are constantly comparing it to a sport they know, as if an NFL fan would want to hear an announcer constantly comparing football to some other sport. He gets players names correct in real time, even those with hard-to-pronounce names. I'm guessing he will try to move on to other markets and sports, but he's got a real talent for calling lacrosse. And, no, I'm not related -- just impressed.
