ESPN, for some reason, doesnt get the top games on Monday. Looking back at this past years schedule only 2 games involved both teams who made the playoffs this year. The Texans- Raiders game earlier this season from Mexico City(the playoff rematch now sucks due to injuries), and the day after Christmas game, which was a good game of Detroit at Dallas.
It also doesnt get what NBC gets where they can revise the schedule to move a top game to Sunday night.
However, they negotiated the contract. Perhaps if they showed every UConn WBB game they would do better.
