Very disappointed in the lack of basketball coverage here

I realize that we are in the middle of football season, but it is very disappointing that the Tigernet front page has no mention of Clemson winning the basketball tournament over the weekend. I know it wasn't an especially prestigious tournament, but we still won it and are 3-0. Considering that there are multiple articles about the football team's victory on Saturday (which we all appreciate), it's too bad there couldn't be one article on the Tigers' basketball victory on Sunday.
I love Tigernet, and understand that football is king, but I think plenty of people would've enjoyed some basketball coverage as well. Thanks for reading.

I seam to remember something about a tree and a sports writer. There was a short bald coach that I think won the only regular season championship.....
But I could be mistaken.

Name the writer that would cover it.

Dan Scott - working the post-game show for WCCP. Will Vandervort - covering the football game for the Seneca Daily Messenger. Scott Rhymer - columnist and not a reporter. Roy Martin - Football commentary only.
All of the rest is literally copy and paste of press releases by the Athletic Department - and even they C&P'd the AP reports for the tourney, which isn't an option for TigerNet.
There wasn't an option available.

coverage of the Clemson-NC State football came from this past weekend since it was painful to watch and we didn't play that well?!? What about our loss to Maryland the week before? Those games don't prevent there from being multiple articles post-game with thoughts, stats, and analysis.
Besides, ODU is a respectable opponent. They went to the final four of last year's NIT, and many picked them to win the Cox Communications Classic that past weekend (which was on their home court). It was a solid win for our program.

You are right. But the coverage (techical) was so poor that

it jaundiced my whole outlook.
Can you imagine watchig a b-ball game with NO game or shot clock on the screen? Apparently Cox Communications can. How about a digital blurp every 11 seconds that drops 2 seconds of coverage? It was like watching frickin' Bewitched. One second our guy would have the ball and blurp, the other team is shooting a jumper.
