yes. TV is still much better than live. But the gap isn't as big in basketball as football.
no way (in bball). on tv you can only watch what the camera is pointed at. you miss so much.
yeah, I guess, depending on the seats. Basketball games where you are too far away to see coaches, fans, or the players faces isn't fun, just like seeing football from 1000 feet in the air isn't fun.
When I sat in the back row of the upper deck baseline for the Phillips 66 when we played KU, I definitely would have preferred TV. And those seats were about 1000 times better than the upper deck at BSFS. It's really difficult to equate the shittyness of those seats to any basketball situation.
