I have noticed this in several games. Really been watching it in the Duke @ UVA game. When Duke has the ball, you can see the scoreboard flashing on the floor. Soon as UVA gets the ball it stops. It’s been pretty consistent on every possession.
I have seen where if the visiting team is shooting free throws, the scoreboards up high behind the goal is flashing.
I’m shocked no one has griped about it and had it stopped. It’s bush league and obviously an attempt to distract the visiting team.
