ESPN has a limited deal with Big Ten thus bias for other conferences

Also owns big part of ACC broadcasts...so, is promo propaganda mouth piece for both them and SEC. Resents BTN’s independence. Starts to explain a lot of what you see/hear on there.

Also makes you wonder why Big Ten players never seem to stay as high in rankings

Wait, are people just now figuring this stuff out?! ESPN shouldn't be without blame in the whole pay for play of college basketball. They've been benefiting from it for a long time as well. They're recruiting "gurus" know the game (runners who are lining recruits up for schools) and that's why they can pump out articles where kids are most likely going to end up. It benefits ESPN greatly to have the top 3 recruits in "their" conference.

Wild performance from Furman’s Jordan Lyons tonight.  15-for-34  from 3-point range, finished with 54 points.  Most points by anyone since Jodie Meeks in 2009, and the new D1 record for most 3-point attempts in a game.

Cj jackson isn’t flashy but he hits big shots. Buckeyes on a 8-0 run and now up 4 with 1 min to go

Davidson beats Wichita St. Might be rough year for the shockers. Down 3 with 15 sec left they let 10 sec run off before fouling. Not a good look

Bol Bol and Oregon about to top off against Iowa. Really enjoyed watching him in the summer a couple years ago at Westfield.

Another ranked team goes down, if we take care of business on the road Sunday..

I've been impressed with the Big Ten so far this season.

I noticed that Penn St is playing without Watkins again tonight; he’s out indefinitely with mental health/substance abuse issues, but is practicing with the team.

its a nice break for the Hoosiers; we only play Penn St once (in State College) and it’s on December 4th.

Memphis basketball player Karim Sameh Azab has passed away at age 22 just seven months after announcing he had leukemia.

Terrible news, thoughts and prayers for his family, friends, and basketball family. Cancer sucks!

Iowa playing Iowa ball. This would be a great win for them and help to boost the conferences standing.

B1G starting the season off a heck of lot better then they did last year. These early non conference games are huge for conferences.

Great win for Iowa, not a good loss by Penn State.

Chambers draws up the last play in OT for someone other then Stevens. Freshman ends up air-balling the last shot. I’ve actually kind of liked watching DePaul since last year Butz (Indiana kid)is getting some big minutes and contributing, he had 15 rebs tonight and Strus is fun to watch.

Caron Butler on the call for this Gonzaga game. Woof. There is a reason they have him calling the 11:30 game
