Listening to that game on the radio was my first Marquette memory at age 7. Brutal.

Thanks, I feel even older after reading that.

It was especially frustrating coming off their run to the CUSA tourney title.

I kind of figured every game would have been covered already between Fox, TNT & Peacock/NBC.  Is this anything not covered?

This is replacing the Flo Sports productions.

This is great for Olympic Sports in the Big East and it's overdue. Many Olympic Sports are carried on ESPN Plus. You can watch entire seasons of various sports on there. MU's Olympic Sports programs will be very happy with this news.

The FloSports deal hurt exposure with recruits, fans, alums, etc...

So we won't have a Georgia game issue this year.

Yeah, this would have been awesome when my daughter was at GU. The platform that they used back then was pretty bad.
