On media: ESPN looking at ways to schedule more non-conference college basketball games in the post-football window

The most anticipated college basketball game of the regular season arrives this weekend. Smack in the middle of conference play, in this golden window after playoff football, top-ranked Michigan and No. 3 Duke will duel on a neutral court in Washington, D.C.

The get-in price for their collision Saturday afternoon? A mere $383.

It’s exactly the type of inter-conference matchup the sport needs when attention is greatest. And ESPN is pondering ways to create more in future seasons.
