CTcard, welcome back, even if it is only for a quick "Hello".
Absolutely, I have the same problem with Sling cutting games off. Every (or maybe almost every) BB game I've viewed in replay from ACCNx via Sling, or used their auto-record feature, I've had this problem. One day I tried about 5 different BB games on ACCNx and they all ended a few minutes before the end of the game. I unsuccessfully looked for any customer service place to complain about this.
Btw, this happens on the Sling app on my (older) Samsung TV and on my laptop via the Sling web site. For instance, the Stanford @ Wake Forest WBB game is shown as being 1:29:05 long. When the playback hits 1:29:05, the game clock has 31.6 seconds on it.
I did comment about it here. From what others were doing, I found a workaround. I go to ESPN.COM website on my computer, hover on ESPN+ at the top, and click on Schedule&Replays, choose the ACCNx channel (rather than ESPN+), choose Replays and the appropriate date. (There is a login to Sling somewhere in there)
Unfortunately, this runs into another bug (does anyone do QA anymore? If you aren't going to have real customer service....,). I find that in Safari, I can't choose the ACCNx channel. When I click on ESPN+, the menu flashes up and is gone immediately. Arrgghh...
I also have found that, in the cases I've used it, the Sling Auto-Record feature misses the start of the game. I figure that's probably due to ESPN's decision to chronically overload their schedule so all but the first game of the day loses the first part of the game (1/4 into the game, etc.).
The video controls (pause/resume/skip forward or back) are really bad on the Samsung apps, so using the computer has other advantages.
And, yet another bug in the Sling app on Samsung: An ACCNx game will just suddenly go black and the controls quit working. No FF or Reverse or Play. No Back. All I can do is go to the Samsung home screen,, kill & restart the Sling app, and get back to where I was. I've only experienced that on the Sling App on Samsung and ACCNx games (randomly in live & replay). Again, no customer service.

Regarding the box score issue. I think I'm seeing the same thing as you. My advice is "Patience, young grasshopper".
When I go to the GoStanford site for WBB Schedule and click on "Box Score" for some game, I immediately get a screenful with the opponents and score, but that's all, even if I try to scroll. Some seconds later, the (PDF?) box score gets rendered typically below what you see on your screen. Unless you have a scroll bar visible, you won't know that anything has eventually appeared below. Give it some time (5 seconds) and then try scrolling down.
