The Mountain West has its own network called the mtn. Some games are on CSTV and VS. Games at the Mountain West school will be on one of these networks. Only games that have a chance to be on the ESPN family of networks would be games at the Valley schools.

Don't hold your breath. I will go out on a limb here and state that the MVC and Bradley will NEVER shed the 'mid-major' label.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostComment

We could try to be like Memphis. But I think that would lead to sacrifices we don't want to makeOriginally posted by georgethedog View PostReturn to GloryComment

Well put! While I was growing up and in college (70's-80's) Memphis State, as it once was called, was always a top tier program. So, they have recent history of being top tier. Our program was at the top 60 years ago and that makes it hard to get back there. You are right, while it would be nice to be like Memphis, it is also nice to not be like Memphis!Comment

As long as I never have to watch a player like Adam Morrison....Originally posted by SanFranciscoPete View PostComment

Besides him showing some emotion after that tough tough loss to UCLA what are you talking about? Was because he had a personality that was a bit different. The kid played with a lot of heart. We would be lucky to have such a talent on the Hilltop.

Haha, I have nothing actually against him. He seemed like he gave Gonzaga his all. I just got tired of hearing about him that year and thought he was a little over-ratedOriginally posted by SanFranciscoPete View PostComment

Dickie V weighs in on the MVC-MWC Challenge
"It is great to get rid of cupcake city games, bargain basement goodies that teams play to get easy W's. I love the fact the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, the Big 12-Pac-10 Hardwood Series and the Big East against the SEC, even in a limited format, exist. Now there is a new match-up in store. The Missouri Valley Conference and the Mountain West Conference announced an agreement in principle to the formation of an annual Mountain West/Missouri Valley Challenge for men's basketball. All members of both leagues will participate in the Challenge, which will feature head-to-head competition between nine Mountain West and nine Missouri Valley teams on an annual basis. Specific details regarding the Challenge will be released at a later date. Officials from both conferences are working towards a four-year commitment that could begin as early as November 2009. It will be fun to see the likes of Creighton and Southern Illinois meeting the UNLVs of the world."Comment
