This weekend at work I hopped over to ESPN.com to see how the UCA men's hoops team did in it's afternoon contest. So I went over to the Southland section of the Men's College Basketball Scoreboard and that's where I saw this:

Now, I'm no math genius — far from it, actually. But by even my crappy math, according to that scoring summary, UCA won by a point in regulation. Making it odd that the game went to overtime.

I assumed this was just wrong and went to Yahoo! Sports instead. Of course, Yahoo! had the correct score by periods. ESPN had the correct final, but I guess whoever is in charge of putting in the Southland scores forgot to call the gym constantly and just got the final and made up his own scores by period.

Then again, you can't really get too worked up about this little mistake. Because the vast majority of folks probably aren't concerned with checking UCA's score or any other Southland score on the Internet. If there's going to be an area you slack off in, the Southland section of the scoreboard might be a good one.

It did take quite a while before ESPN.com even had the Sugar Bears in the Southland Conference. They clearly have the interns working on those parts of the site.

All-in-all not as bad as the time they had the "Heats" playing the Nets on an NBA on ESPN ad, but I would think most large news-gathering organizations would pride themselves on having things correct.
