Southland Conference announces 2017-18 basketball TV schedule

League teams featured in a record number of broadcasts

FRISCO, Texas – Exposure for Southland Conference men’s and women’s basketball will continue to grow during the 2017-18 season, as more than 175 broadcasts are planned across ESPN Networks, Eleven Sports and numerous other outlets. For the third straight year, coverage will include every men’s and women’s game from the Southland Conference Basketball Tournament, scheduled for March 7-11, in Katy, Texas.

“We are again very pleased to announce an ever-growing broadcast schedule for Southland Conference basketball teams,” league Commissioner Tom Burnett announced. “The competitive quality of Southland basketball continues to increase year after year, and our various broadcast partners have found that televising our teams to be compelling programming for their viewers.”

The Southland enters its sixth year with ESPN3 serving as the primary broadcast home of its men’s and women’s basketball. Live coverage includes conference men’s and women’s doubleheaders. The Southland is also planning “wild card” broadcasts based on competitive standing in the final three weeks of regular season play. In addition to conference-produced game of the week broadcasts, several schools will produce supplementary home games for the ESPN3 platform.

During the Southland Tournament, ESPN3 will have exclusive live coverage of the first, second and semifinal rounds. The men’s championship game will be carried live nationally on ESPN2, and the women’s final will be televised live nationally on CBS Sports Network.

ESPN’s live multi-screen sports network, ESPN3 is a destination that delivers thousands of exclusive sports events annually. It is accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the ESPN app and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Eleven Sports continues its first academic year covering the Southland Conference with women’s and men’s basketball selections. Eleven Sports is available in 70 million homes worldwide across Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States. Launched in the U.S. in March 2017, the network is available nationally on DirecTV 623 and AT&T U-verse 1665, plus various other providers. Games on Eleven Sports will also be available on the Southland Digital Network, consisting of Southland.org/live and the Southland Conference apps.

In addition, Southland teams will play on Cox Sports Television, Fox Sports Networks, ACC Network Extra, Big Ten Network, SEC Network and other entities during non-conference action.
