DU should try to get on this ESPN 24 hr thing next year, everyone watches this, first games of the year, I heard updates of the RMU game today at work, from Pitt fans. WE should be playing RMU on this day next year, late night/early morning, get the campus fired up early in the year for a national tv game, vs good rival, rather than a D2 or St Frank or UBMC -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

We did it last year our game at Iowa was on. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Tuesday, November 16, 10:16:50pm

No it wasn't. It wasn't. It was on ESPNU, which no one gets, and was part of that stupid tourney where the losing team advanced, not the 24 hours thing. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, November 17, 07:21:27am

Technically it was under the 24 hour hoops marathon, IIRC. SD St and Gonzaga played a CBE game last night as part of it. To be on ESPN, we'd either have to be a road team like LaSalle this year in the mid-afternoon or play a home game at 8 or 10 AM. At least we had practice at that with the Fordham game last year, lol.

- DOnt do it if its a road game, who cares if its a road game. We need to get the school and city excited about DU hoops, and that CAN NOT be achieved on tv from Iowa City or Lincoln, Nebraska. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Wednesday, November 17, 09:46:23am
  - The city is only going to get excited when X, UD, and Temple come to town. This is the result of 30 years of BE juggernauts coming to town. Those three are seen as BE type schools, so the city will pay attention when they come, provided we have a competitive team. Pittsburgh doesn't care about PC, SH, or DePaul; they certainly aren't gonna care about LaSalle. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, November 17, 02:42:43pm
- Thanks Brian , I thought maybe my my memory was going. I did google it this morning and saw we were listed on the schedule for the 24 hour marathon. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Wednesday, November 17, 02:26:57pm
