BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Southwestern Athletic Conference released its 2016 basketball television schedule, highlighted by nine of the 10 member institutions being featured across six different networks and six contests to be shown through the SWAC Digital Network (SDN).
League schools are set to square off against foes from the Big 12, Pac 12, Southeastern, Atlantic Coast and Big 10 conferences. Prairie View A&M tips off the slate with a trip to the Pacific Northwest to face Oregon State on Nov. 11.
Nov. 14 sees a double dip of coverage, as Alabama State faces TCU on Fox Sports Southwest, and new Mississippi Valley State women’s coach Jessica Kern takes the Devilettes to Tuscaloosa for a ladies’ tilt with Alabama, streaming on SEC Network + via WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
On Nov. 27, the SWAC makes its season debut on ESPN, as the Panthers take on Big 10 contender Wisconsin on ESPN3. Perhaps the marquee contest of the league’s non-conference slate takes place on Dec. 10, when All-American Derrick Griffin and the defending regular-season conference champion Texas Southern Tigers take on perennial national title contender Louisville. The contest will be available as an ACC Network Extra event via WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
All games aired on an ESPN network will be available through WatchESPN, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and streaming devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
On Dec. 14, SWAC tournament champion Southern gets an ESPNU showcase as it takes on Big 12 opponent Baylor.
The conference’s digital network broadcast ledger – which will feature men’s and women’s double-headers -- begins with Alabama State taking on Mississippi Valley State on Jan. 9, and the next week, ESPNU will show a potential SWAC tournament final preview, as 2016 runner-up Jackson State tangles with Texas Southern on Jan. 16.
On Feb. 6, a rematch of the SWAC Tournament Championship takes center stage with Jackson State and Southern going at it on ESPNU. Feb. 20 sees defending conference champion Alabama State Lady Hornets head to Baton Rouge to face Southern prior to the men’s contest, and the television schedule caps off with a double-header between Grambling State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Feb. 25 on SDN.
All games set to be shown are listed below, and more games may potentially be added as the season progresses.
