Guess whoever wrote the article is not up to speed, you did read the article correct? Its not in there

Seems like that was an article on the SoCon agreement and our participation/exposure, and not meant to be an inventory of all televised games.

Sure all good, except for this line:
"The contest will be Furman's third on national television during the 2021-22 season. The Paladins are scheduled to play on ESPNNEWS on January 5 at 7 p.m. against UNC Greensboro and their February 7 contest at East Tennessee State scheduled for 7 p.m. will air on ESPNU."

ESPN Classic 2.0 is a streaming service. DIsney is not shutting down ESPN2.

It's a small mistake, much smaller than the likelihood of relying on anything published by Breitbart, as noted by that respected webite's mistake in equating ESPN2 with ESPN Classic 2. Whether that's a mistake or intentional clickbait that it just can't prevent itself from routinely spreading ... is debatable
You cross-check the website. It's there. Move on.

I would just like to see Furman advertise the game as on ESPN2 a bit

Heck if your going to thump the drum about games on CBS Sports Network, ESPN News, ESPNU why not do the same for ESPN2?

Furman hoops has been on ESPN and ESPN2 how many times in its history? Twice? Both loses in the SoCon championship game of which we had bad regular seasons during
