"Michigan St, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky". What team is different than the others?

Its time to drop Michigan St from the annual 4 team matches. I know they need teams with 4 different conferences, so its either a team from the B10, BE, or other league. Don't know who makes sense from the B10 - they have a lot of "very solid" but not elite programs. To me the best fit would be Gonzaga or UConn. Gonzaga would be the most intriguing to me as a fan, but I suppose for eyeballs it wouldn't be.

So that brings it down to UConn as the logical replacement... so on second thought let's keep Michigan St!

Isn't the Champions Classic an ESPN thing? Uconn (fox) would be a no-go then.

Michigan St (Big 10) is not affiliated with ESPN either from what I understand. B10 is Fox, CBS, NBC.

I always thought it was conference games that were affiliated to networks. But not necessarily out of conference games especially power vs power - I stand to be corrected on that point though.

I was going to say that Michigan State was grandfathered in to the Champions Classic, but now that I think about it, jncuse is right. A number of multi-team events air on ESPN without much regard as to whether the participating teams have contracts to play their home games on other networks.

Prime example: Connecticut and Michigan State are playing in this month's Maui Invitational, and all the games (PDF bracket) are on the ESPN channels.

I think you're right; only conference games are affiliated. My bad.

2 mins into this game. Duke and UK appear to be playing a different sport than us

 

[kirbivore]

Cooper Flagg hero ball the last two possessions resulted in two turnovers. Not impressed

 

[blust2i3d4]

Don't count Duke and UNC to lead ACC this year. Both already had loss.

One to the top team in the country and the other to a top 20 team on the last possession. They will certainly lead the ACC.

Pope has the right model for UK. Lots of 3 point shooting and older guys that can defend. Regret not throwing a few bucks on them to win it all before last night.

MSU still has as much recent tournament success as any Big Ten school. And that conference is very good regular season. I do not think they should be cut for a lesser conference like NBE or WCC.

Izzo has probably hung on too longlike JB did.

UCONN 90
LeMoyne 49

 

[djcon57]

UCONN 90
LeMoyne 49

It's just one game.

 

[althea]

It's just one game.

It’s one game but UCONN takes defense seriously. Our team does not.

 

[PoppyHart]

UCONN 90
LeMoyne 49

Not sure Le Moyne was really up for this one. We were their Super Bowl.

 

[Cuseball]

UCONN 90
LeMoyne 49

But we play fast paced and have some new players so it’s okay

 

[Cuse4455]

Seemed like a off night for Lemoyne, just couldn't get the ball to go down. If they make some of their misses they only lose by 30 not 40.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It’s called expectations. If you demand it all the time, you can get it. Hurley holds everyone accountable and he’s never satisfied. He wasn’t happy tonight despite the lopsided score.

UCONN 90
LeMoyne 49

I still stand by my post game prediction from last night.
3 CNY teams in the sweet 16.

 

[althea]

In fairness, it took Bobby Hurley a few years to get his system in place. I can only dream.

26 points 12 boards, 2 blocks and 2 assists. I thought he was better than good.

Pre-portal, though. I'm not sure Red would be able to build up that way even if he's capable.

Washington was down 11 against a Division 2 team at the half (Seattle Pacific).
Game is now tied.
