We will have 7 Nationally televised games on ESPN, ESPN2, FSN, FOX1, plus regional TV schedule to be announced soon! Should have 15 TV games

Here are the nationally televised games:
3 games from the Wooden Classic
Arizona
WKU
UAB
La Tech in Ruston

Guesses at the others
Washington St
NMSU
Colorado St.
La. Tech @ Haskins Center
USM
ODU
MTSU

The ODU one would be nice. Right now ODU only has 1 TV game, which we got cause we're doing the Paradise Jam tournament. None of the games covered by CUSA have been picked up for us, for the second year in a row. Ugh.

Congrats though, that's a good slate of games you got televised, with UTEP being able to win most of 'em I think. I'll have to catch a few, which ones are at home? UTEP's got a great arena, and I'd love to see it on Nat Television.

Arizona, Washington St. are good home games.

They're good games because they have some name recognition and both should be wins.

I thought I saw somewhere that Arizona is the preseason #1. Did anyone else see that? It could have been a magazine.

I'm sure some magazine has them at #1. Either way, they're going to be a probable consensus top 5. Like I said, easy win.

It's would be huge for a couple of reasons if we're able to pull it off. First, while it might not quite be the caliber of Indiana and Georgetown in the mid-80s, but it would do a lot to reenergize the fan base. And two, I think it's pretty much a must win if we harbor any illusions of getting an at large bid. We could go 13-1 OOC (or whatever), and I guarantee you the conversation in March would be well, they had their one shot at a signature win and blew it.

Arizona is preseason #1. If y´all beat them you deserve to be ranked.

I fully expect UTEP to beat Arizona and will be highly upset if they don't. I wouldn't say the same thing if the game was in Tucson.

until they play UTEP

TF still mad about lack of TV?

Some what because he wants UTEP to have that many games on national TV without the three from the Wooden Classic.

WKU's preliminary schedule has 5 games on national TV, and another on ESPN3. In past seasons we have had most of our other games broadcast regionally on WKYU (Bowling Green) and WHAS (Louisville). Last year (due to the Sun Belt TV partnerships) these games were also on ESPN3. Years prior to that they were all on FCS (Fox College Sports). It will be interesting to see what happens this season.

Lets hope FCS is a possibility again, if not will be stuck watching home games on WKU's video feed and road games only will have radio...

Nice! That's a good slate. I assume we're getting the TV shaft because of recent history. Otherwise we had better TV back in the Colonial.
