I just finished watching the Idaho St - SC game.

SC barely beat a pretty mediocre Idaho State team. The game was kind of a mess with 49 fouls and 64 free throws. Idaho State had 17 turnovers with quite a few unforced. Yet they were ahead with 3 minutes left in the game. Not an impressive performance by the Trojans. If Idaho State doesn't insist on fouling 3-point shooters down the stretch, I think SC loses.

I watched it on B1G+. There are some good things about it and some really amatuerish things. The best thing is the availability of content. I had the choice between 1) the uncut game 2) the full game 3) the condensed game, and 4) highlights.

The interface is a bit awkward, but the number of games and options is great.

Now to the bad stuff. The announcers looked like they could still be in high school and although the play-by-play guy called the game, the color guy provided zero insight and they were insufferable homers. I have heard a lot of homers on the B1G broadcasts.

The technical stuff was pretty bad. The score on the screen was frequently wrong and often the score was missing from the screen. They also have terribly inaccurate close captions which block the score and time, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn them off.

And there is no way to contact customer service, if they even offer it.

To summarize B1G+ has good content and crappy execution.
