You heard it here first
As reported here back in August, the Patriot League has reached a deal to showcase league games on ESPNU.

We will add more details after tomorrow's media day event, which not coincidentally, will be held at the ESPN Zone in Baltimore (last season it as at the CSTV studios in Manhattan).

Here is a slightly edited version of the release sent out today by the home office in Center Valley:

Patriot League Announces 2007 Basketball Schedule on ESPNU
Eleven regular-season and one tournament game to be aired.

Center Valley, Pa. – The Patriot League announced Wednesday that 11 regular-season basketball games and the Patriot League Women’s Basketball Championship game will air on ESPNU during the 2006-2007 campaign.

Overall, nine men and two women’s Patriot League regular-season games will be shown on ESPNU. All eight of the Patriot League men’s basketball teams will gain exposure on ESPNU, while four women’s teams will be highlighted during the regular-season. A full schedule of games can be found below.

Two-time defending Patriot League champions Bucknell and Holy Cross will each host two ESPNU men’s games, while American, Colgate, Lafayette and Navy will each host one contest on ESPNU. The package also features two Patriot League rivalries -- Navy at Army and Lehigh at Lafayette.

The women will take over the spotlight on Sunday, Jan. 21 with Navy at defending Patriot League titlist Army and on Friday, Feb. 9 with Holy Cross at Bucknell. The Patriot League Women’s Basketball Championship game will air on ESPNU on Wednesday, March 7 from the site of the highest-remaining seed.

Calling the action for Patriot League men’s hoops this year are Bob Socci (play-by-play) and John Feinstein (color analyst).
