The Ivy League announced they will be launching a conference-wide digital broadcast network. This is great news, but I'm curious how much the statement "streams will come from the schools' own production teams" shall expose the different levels of production value and video quality available from the top to the bottom of the conference.

The first-ever postseason victory for Denver (22-9) sure was exciting. Ohio's Reggie Kelly missed a potentially-tying jump hook in the lane with seven seconds left and with the Bobcats looking to foul senior Chase Hallem chucked a long outlet to Jalen Love who immediately offered a touch pass back to Royce O'Neale for the game-clinching dunk with one tick remaining. The Pioneers advance to play at Maryland tomorrow night in the NIT's second round.
