When Marquette started announcing the men’s basketball non-conference schedule a on July 5th, we figured that we’d get the 2K Classic games along the way. Maybe not the pair of doubleheaders in Madison Square Garden in November, but at least the home games that are also part of the event.
Hilariously, that didn’t happen.
ESPN holds the TV rights to the tournament, and as such, they apparently hold the rights to announcing all of the games. Finally, our short regional nightmare was ended on Wednesday morning, when the World Wide Leader hit the send button.
Marquette will play Michigan in the second game of the doubleheader on November 17.
