First they declare that this year's tournament is "boring" despite the fact that you have a team playing in the title game who has blown the doors off everyone and held the field's #1 seed to a season low in offense...
Now on the ticker/crawl during the Mets-Royals game they inform the audience that Villanova is playing in their 2nd national championship game -- not including the 1971 title game appearance which they were forced to vacate. As if anyone knows, cares, or remembers that.
Then they mention that UNC is simply going for their 6th national championship, as if they haven't been proven to be one of he dirtiest, most fraudulent programs in D1.
At first I did not buy into the notion that ESPN was shunning the NBE bc of the Fox rivalry. But now I'm completely convinced. There's prob a task force in Bristol dedicate to denigrating the league. There are so many examples. When we were #1, our box scores were almost never listed near the top of the scoreboard of their mobile app. You actually had to scroll to the bottom of the page to find a box score for the #1 team in the country! That is, if it was even there at all. Sometimes, you'd have to filter on the BE to get our box to appear.
