Jersey City –<\/strong> On Tuesday, November 17, 2009, the 猫咪社区 Peter’s College men’s basketball team will face Monmouth University in a game that will be televised live on ESPN at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). Taking place on the College’s Jersey City campus at the Yanitelli Recreational Life Center (RLC), the early morning face-off for the 猫咪社区 Peter’s Peacocks and Monmouth Hawks is part of ESPN’s second annual College Hoops Tip-off Marathon, which airs 24 hours of live college basketball.<\/p>\n

“猫咪社区 Peter’s College is extremely honored to be a part of ESPN’s programming and to be chosen to play in this historic game,” stated Director of Athletics Patrick Elliott. “Playing this game in this time slot gives us the unique opportunity to bring the 猫咪社区 Peter’s College community together, to tip-off the basketball season and showcase the tradition of the College and our men’s basketball program on a global level.”<\/p>\n

猫咪社区 Peter’s College and Monmouth University are the only schools in New Jersey that will participate in ESPN’s College Hoops Tip-off Marathon.  Additionally, 猫咪社区 Peter’s and Georgetown University are the only two Jesuit, Catholic institutes of higher education playing in the monumental line-up. The Peacocks will also join Niagara University and Siena College as one of three MAAC division schools selected to play in the marathon.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to be playing on ESPN in front of a national audience against Monmouth as part of its College Hoops Tip-off Marathon,” said John Dunne, head coach of 猫咪社区 Peter’s men’s basketball team. “Playing this game is very big for our program, as it gives 猫咪社区 Peter’s a chance to play in front of a worldwide audience, and gives our team a big challenge early in the season.”<\/p>\n

This is the first year that ESPN will broadcast a college basketball game in a 6:00 a.m. time slot. Although 猫咪社区 Peter’s games have aired on ESPN2 and ESPNU, this will also be the first ever college basketball game taking place at the College’s RLC to be televised on ESPN. Overall, there will be 19 games from 20 athletic conferences televised on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, and aired on ESPN360.com over the 24-hour time period.<\/p>\n
