I'm hoping this was a one time glitch as I've had lots of luck watching the FIBA games, european soccer matches, and NBA games live over the past few years.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have a good internet connection and never have trouble streaming other media in HD, but I had exactly the same problem that you did during the Princeton game - freezing up, "Your event is about to begin" messages popping up. I hope it's just a function of this being either a one-off problem, early in the season, or not broadcast on ESPN/ESPN2 (and hence maybe a lower level of production quality?).
This is my first year of watching Duke without cable, so I'm going to be heavily leaning on ESPN3 and over-the-air CBS, supplementing with trips to a sports bar for the few games that are on FSN.
