Husker Men's Basketball TV Schedule Announced

The Nebraska men's basketball team will play at least 18 games on TV this season, including 10 on Fox Sports Net Midwest.

All games broadcast on FSN Midwest will be regional telecasts - available on cable and satellite only in the state of Nebraska, per Big 12 Conference rules.

For the first time in school history, all eight Big 12 Conference road games will be televised. Overall, 15 of the Huskers' 16 league games will be televised either nationally, regionally or locally.

"We are glad to be able to provide Husker fans the opportunity to see more road games, which has been our concentration this year," Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm said in a press release. "There is a lot of excitement around Coach Doc Sadler and the basketball program. We hope to have the Devaney Center full every night and there are still great season tickets available, but this television package gives even more Husker fans an opportunity to see what's going on with their team."

Greg Sharpe returns for his third season of calling the action for FSN telecasts. Joining him will be Matt Davison, who returns for his fourth year handling color commentary for men's basketball games on the Husker Sports Network.

Nebraska and FSN Midwest are in the second year of a two-year contract that put the Huskers on television a record number of times last year. FSN Midwest has telecast Husker games each of the past two years and this season will air the Doc Sadler Coaches Show at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays. A 30-minute season preview show about the Cornhusker basketball team will also air on FSN Midwest on Monday, Nov. 6 at 1 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.

"We are proud to continue our partnership with the University of Nebraska to televise Husker basketball throughout the state," said FSN Midwest General Manager and Vice President Jack Donovan. "We have a great Nebraska telecast schedule this season that features eight Big 12 matchups and two quality non-conference contests."

In addition to the Husker/FSN Midwest telecasts and the Big 12 Conference television package, the Nebraska-Creighton game on Nov. 18 will also be broadcast. Final details regarding the telecast are still being finalized.
