But they went right into a preview of tomorrow’s Top 25 action and never bothered to recognize their own game. It was almost like they were ashamed to have this game on the slate.
I am thrilled that the game aired on ESPN2 and I get that they want to promote Saturday Top 25 hoops on the networks of ESPN. But to not even acknowledge such a rare offensive achievement in the very game you’re broadcasting? I’m befuddled. Not cool, ESPN.

That is odd. But in all honesty, it never made sense to me for them to spend their half time show showing the viewers what they just saw(multiple times with replay). If I'm not a VCU or Flyers fan and I was just watching the game passively(which is the point of nationally televised games), I would prefer to see other things.
