ESPN non-coverage is atrocious

[Montgomery-Magic]

Thought I would jump on to the world wide leader’s website for news but could find not a single headline on our astonishing gutting of a top ten team after basically winning zero games last two years. Found highlights buried down low somewhere. EF ESPN. Ill avoid them from now on.

I think after the Cease and Desist, ESPN has avoided really reporting anything positive on the Big 12 and really have just given the conference a giant middle finger. Oh well.

Football is king plus Duke-Gonzaga sucked all the basketball air out of the room.

 

[ChamplinCyclone22]

ESPN is trash

 

[JCity]

No one cares about college bball until March

 

[madguy30]

Oh well.

It's November.

Let's see where things are in two months and if ISU's doing well they'll maybe at least be on ESPN/2.

There has been a bunch of tweets from the OG ESPN handle, ESPN college football, and ESPN Stats about both the football game (Breece’s record especially) and the basketball game. Football is king and will get the most coverage on the channel until the season is done.

Easy explanation: Duke played a game that same night.

Thats a negative ghost rider.

Surprised there wasn't more mention of them last night in the ISU game but they were busy humping the table over Memphis.

Top five matchup. And we are getting down to nitty gritty in football.

I have ceased and desisted from paying attention to them unless I have to watch a game on their channels

 

[pourcyne]

They were too dazzled by the resting Larry face.

ESPN is a national company. They will post stories they think will get clicks. Kansas losing is more interesting than Memphis. Iona, with a brand like Rick Pitino and the rareness of a team of that caliber beating a top ten team, is more notable. Yes, we care about beating a top 10 team and it is interesting regionally. If we keep winning, it becomes a story due to the turn around. Still a bit early for that. And would probably be posted on a day when there is less immediate news.

And it was a great game, don’t see many games in November played at that level.

 

[Clonehomer]

Even beyond our game, Sportcenter's coverage of Duke / Gonzaga was all about the freshmen recruits and how they will do in the NBA. They don't care about the college game at all, it's all about promoting their NBA coverage at this point. Thankfully, Fox has stepped up their football coverage to replace GameDay. Now we just need someone to do the same with basketball.

I'm past getting mad anymore, but if you really like to be mad then get mad at Iowa's #1 newspaper. The Des Moines Register has no story on Iowa State's thrashing of the #9 team in the nation.

 

[BCClone]

We get ranked and then more attention will follow.

And it's even going to be worse this season with it being coach K's last.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

I was slightly inebriated last night but saw they kept panning over to Niang. Cool for him to come out and support TJ and co. Hope he gave a nice post game speech

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

That Duke game was awesome. A great early season showcase for the sport.
