ESPN Classic today...

1 PM EST - Syracuse vs. Louisville, 1/19/13
3 PM EST - Indiana vs. Michigan from 1987

My question is...why the hell aren't they showing the Syracuse vs. Indiana title game from 1987? I assume because they wanted to showcase four teams from the Sweet 16 rather than just two, but still. Seems a little weird to me.

Oh well, it'll be nice to relive our victory over the Cards.

At least we won the game they are showing.

Because they probably don't have the rights to air that game. It was initially broadcast on CBS and they most likely retained exclusivity.
