CBS criticized for zooming in on player's mother

Fans of March Madness expressed their anger over CBS's coverage during Florida's recent basketball game against UConn. The Gators managed to win the thrilling match with a score of 77-75, advancing to the Sweet 16. Viewers were upset because the cameraman kept focusing on Ashley McNeeley, the mother of UConn star Liam McNeeley, instead of the game. Many took to social media to voice their frustrations. Comments included complaints about how often the camera switched to her, overshadowing cheerleaders and other important moments. Liam McNeeley had a strong game, scoring 22 points, including a key three-pointer at the buzzer. However, the constant cutaways to his mother led to jokes and irritation among fans. Some wondered if the cameraman was a "huge fan" of her. The match was particularly tense as Florida risked being the first No. 1 regional seed eliminated in this tournament. They were trailing but rallied late in the game to secure their win. UConn coach Dan Hurley was also caught on camera expressing his disappointment about the loss, which marked the end of a 14-game winning streak in the NCAA tournament.
