Not worried about SMU-Louisville. It will be talk of the country that night. People will find it.

This is what I'm thinking. They certainly will be tuning into SC to hear about the upset.

It just doesn't make sense, why does Temple get to be on ESPN2 tomorrow verse Louisville on a Thursday but a top 25 showdown and much better game won't be? Am I nuts for thinking this?

ESPN sold the rights to a lot of the good games this year to CBS before the season started

In their defense, at the beginning of the year Louisville/Temple looked like a match-up of two tournament teams, while Louisville/SMU had the makings of a one-sided snoozefest

Hard to complain about all of the incredible coverage ESPN has given SMU and The American this season - and I am a bona fide ESPN hater.

True, I just wan the Louisville game to be on the prime spot, that's all I ask. It's deserved at this point I think. And to the poster above, good point on Temple/Louisville.

Be careful what you wish for you just might get it. (We might be favored in that game) :wink:

Neutral observers know Imbiid and Wiggins at KU and Huggy Bear is more of a draw than Pastner. Hopefully the ratings of the SMU game shine vs. the other one and they are proven wrong for their choice.

I am on Dish. Sometimes it is not listed until game day. Once it was not listed at all. Just tune in and it will be there. If you need to set to record before it shows up, just schedule about 6 of the half hour news shows in a row.
