For not practicing your FTs.

Watching the VLC stream?
If so, could you help? I've used it before, but today I keep getting a msg that the link doesn't work. I heard others have the same problem. If it is working for you, could you explain exactly your process?
Thanks tons!!!

I give the BTN props for tyring to create suspense when the doomed Northwestern team creates a mini run.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^

We could play the end of the bench and still win comfortably. Northwestern is a really shitty team.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
We=Purdue?

Copy the link listed above. Open VLC media player and select media at the top left.
Scroll down and click on stream.
In the middle select the network tab, and insert the link there.
Click stream. It will save the link. Click stream again.
It will take you back to the main VLC page, all you did was save the link.
Now click Play in the lower left, then select the network tab, your link will be there and you should be able to select play in the lower right...it will load and work.
Let me know ifyou still have problems.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:59 PM ^
It's not working - I get the same message that it doesn't recognize the link.
This is the stream I'm using (the ipad option):

that is the link I used, try that
January 30th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Thanks so much for your help. I had just tried that as well - didn't work either. Same error.
I used VLC to watch the ILL game. Confused.
Got my links from wizwig.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:19 PM ^
Are you trying to view it with an Ipad, or a PC/Laptop? What version VLC do you have?
I'm using this link to view it on my laptop, it currently works fine but im in the states.
EDIT" What exactly does the error say?
January 30th, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
I was using the individual game link lower on the BTN page, not the 24/7 link. I just tried the 24/7 link and it is working on VLC... the game is over of course. I'll try this next time. Next game thread, you might see me crying on these boards again looking for help. If so, please be as kind as you were today.
You, sir, and a true Michigan Man.
Thanks, Go Blue!
January 30th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
No problem, glad you could get it working hopefully for next time. I hate missing games lol.

There's the Burke/Sullinger comment...
January 30th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
McGary please don't dribble in traffic.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^

January 30th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
It's so interesting that this year, in this situation, I still have zero doubt we'll win. Such an odd sensation.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
Where is the team that we saw in the first half? This is ugly.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
This is exactly how the Fab Five used to play. Especially their freshman year. They would absolutely dominate and then give up the lead. I think it is more about youth than anything.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
These guys are playing with no energy. Even (especially?) McGary.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
Maybe too much energy. If McGary didn't try to do too much and dribble up court we'd have 1 less turnover.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:57 PM ^
I Disagree. He had a couple rebounds he usually gets and he didn't take the ball strong to the rim on either of his past two attempts. Dribbling the ball up the court doesn't take more energy than giving it up and running to the basket.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
My point is, it is dumb to say players aren't playing with enough energy. Criticizing energy and effort when it is not blatantly obvious that a player is playing with no respect for himself, his teammates, and the game should probably be avoided.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:25 PM ^
I disagree with this too. The energy level of a team waxes and wanes throughout games. You don't always have your best focus or intensity. It's not the same as saying a player doesn't care about his team. I don't think such an evaluation is "dumb".
January 30th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
I love it when both teams go ice cold!
January 30th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Stauskas....he can do more than shoot the three...
January 30th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
Please tell me they said he wasn't just a shooter
January 30th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
he's not just a three point shooter...
What is that call?!
January 30th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
Wait for it, wait for it...
January 30th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
LOL Big Tehhhhnnnnn refs.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
Post Possessions!
January 30th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
There it was..sorta. "He is more than just a one dimensional three point shooter"
January 30th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
I like Jon's game.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
Finish your drink.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
Is there a stream? Cannot find it on firstrow
January 30th, 2013 at 7:53 PM ^
Do not think so many have asked and none have been posted. BTN seems to really lock down that aspect.
