What's going on over at ESPN? They seem to like the BE this year. Even Dan Dakich heaping praise on the BE and Muskies last night. They must have had a meeting and said to stop badmouthing the BE this year.

That link had Nova 22, X 24, and did not show Marquette?

I would guess that list has been updated since it was first posted

I think they're fine with it as long as they don't have to mentioned that all the games are carried on FS1

I actually heard one of their analyst mention a Big East game and that it would be on FS1. I wonder if the networks cooperating for NFL games is translating into a better relationship related to other sports.

ESPN.com's scoreboard gives the channels carrying the games, even if it's a Fox channel.

they still don't give the channel on the bottom line though if its not on espn.

With Harvard 10th? I see 7 guys coming in for them? 10th? Really? Wow....

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before for an Ivy. They have FOUR 4* recruits coming in 2016 including three members of the ESPN100. On paper that may be better than any class we've ever had.

I like this line about our bigs in the class:

"Jones and Ekiyor form a potent one-two punch with two athletic and mobile bigs who can not only control the paint, but also defend the perimeter."

Versatile bigs who can defend the perimeter is where basketball has been going and I think has been particularly important in the BE so far since we've joined.

Will ESPN ever forget the Brawl?

Seriously, the ability to defend the perimeter is huge. Even a big guy like O'Mara has the feet to defend out there. Gone are the days of Kenny and Matt. I appreciate everything they gave us, but we're in a whole new world now and we need guys with good feet who can defend.
