ESPN’s late-night coverage…

Filed under: Uncategorized — Shawn @ 1:33 pm

While the local media are tittering like schoolgirls who’ve just met their crush in person, the national media are perhaps a tad more agnostic about us. Last night’s Sports Center covered our victory in a very perfunctory manner. Granted, it was on a weekend during which a blockbuster baseball trade was being mulled but Dale Jr. and N.C. State also got much, much more airtime as well. Again, I will grant that it was the weekend of the Daytona 500, the ‘Super Bowl’ of the left-turn crowd (I guess I’m un-American for not getting into this ‘sport.’) and that the Wolfpack pulled off a huge upset but the tone of our coverage was still tepid. And it was the ho-hum tone that grabbed me. Yes, these are worthy and exciting stories, but Pitt vs. Uconn was as well. I mean, this was #4 vs. #5, a battle for first place in one of the country’s premier basketball leagues, a possible preview of the Big East’s tournament, and a possible NCAA tournament preview as well. Something doesn’t add up here…
