Xavier-Duke

**X-band '01** · 12-20-2010, 06:21 AM

I know, I know, how dare ESPN or CBS College not televise a game between two of the top 4 teams in the country for Tuesday night? That will happen when:

1)gamblers have a useless bowl game on the mother ship (Louisville and Southern Miss play in the Beef O'Charley's St. Petersburg Bowl)

2)UConn is about to notch win #89 in a row at home against Florida State.

3)North Carolina has a home game on ESPNU lest the public think the network is pro-Duke.

Say what you will about Xavier having a schedule with lots of BCS opponents, but they have not played a ranked opponent yet. Only Louisville and Southern Cal are even getting votes in the polls at this point.

There is a PPV video stream at GoDuke.com for tomorrow night. There is a 1-month video subscription for 9.95/mo; I don't see any option for one game only.

X-band, part of the problem is that there simply aren't very many women's basketball games being broadcast period. And when they do show a game, it's usually between the most established powers of women's hoops. Like it or not, X is a relative newcomer.

Having said that, this game definitely should have been on TV, as well as the Stanford game.
