If not, I'm wondering why the Deuce is showing DePaul-Providence. Both teams were expected to be bad, and they've basically followed through. The Friars will be a very deceiving 3-2 with a win, and DePaul without Koshwal only have 1 guy on the team averaging more than 7 points a game.

I think they are....

Don't know about any guarantees, wouldn't surprise me if there was a provision to get every team on ESPN/ESPN2 once a year.

Maybe so. But they should NEVER put that kind of matchup on TV. It's a game that only the fanbases of those 2 schools could care about, and a ratings disaster. It's not quite Coastal Carolina against Maryland Eastern Shore. But it ain't far off...

Overnight of 0.03

what other options, conf wise, were there last night?

Seton Hall-Georgetown...

"According to the deal the Big East has with ESPN, each BIG EAST team have a minimum of 10 games telecast on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic or ERT."

That doesn't answer the original question, but I would imagine that there is some stipulations buried in the original contract that a certain number of the those 10 games must be on ESPN or ESPN 2.

I think a replay of that game would have gotten just as high a rating, if not higher...
