It’s Jimmy V week at ESPN, which means the network is raising money to benefit The V Foundation. As part of the effort, ESPN provided a unique second-screen experience during Tuesday night’s Jimmy V Classic between No. 4 Villanova and No. 12 Gonzaga.
ESPN’s Shelley Smith hosted the broadcast alongside fellow cancer survivor Avi Newhouse.
