Diamond Head Classic

I know this is not MU or even Big East related, but I wondering if a Big East team will ever get an invite to this tournament which is hosted by the Big West and owned by ESPN. The field is pretty lack luster this year but I watched a few games. The ESPN half time report went through the P5 conferences picking out the teams who will be competing for spots in March. The Big East was completely ignored while Gonzaga and Nevada got mentions as the best teams in the West as the PAC12 will be hard pressed to get two teams into the tournament. How can ESPN have any sports credability as they ignore one of the top 3 or 4 college basketball conferences in the country. All the networks cross promote each other, why this exception?

You answered the question already. No reason a network will promote the product of some other business.

They played in an ESPN owned tournament just this year.

The big reason is because they aren't going to play a tournament this close to the conference season.

Exactly.  And last year.  And next year.

Great movie.

Great movie.

Yep. Also, great beach resort in Ft. Myers Beach, FL.

The resort owner must agree with you, as the resort logo is a Pineapple. If I'm not mistaken, the protagonist's brother was a pineapple heir/baron.

Medcalf calls the Big East 'strong' in this story- of course only in the context of talking about Nova not being Nova ....
