MSU Home Game With SEMO To Air On ESPNU Feb. 2
1/11/2012 2:22:00 AM | Men's Basketball
The February 2 Ohio Valley Conference men's basketball contest between Murray State and Southeast Missouri State has been selected for telecast by ESPNU as part of the league's television package.
When the OVC announced its ESPN basketball schedule on Oct. 5, there were three dates on the schedule designated as "wild card" dates where the game to be aired was not selected until 21 days before the contest, making sure an attractive matchup was televised, instead of having to determine the full schedule a month before the season began.
Entering this week's action, Murray State (16-0, 4-0 OVC) is one of three undefeated teams in Division I and are ranked No. 14 in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 and No. 15 in the Associated Press Top 25. The rankings are the highest ever for the Racer program and highest for an OVC team since the 1970-71 season. Southeast Missouri State (8-8, 3-1 OVC) is off to its best start in OVC play since the 1999-00 season. The Redhawks currently rank 13th nationally in field goal percentage (49.2%) and will be appearing on ESPNU for the first time since Jan. 9, 2010.
The game at the CFSB Center will air at 7:00 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
The Jan. 21 game between Murray State and SIUE was selected as the first wild card pairing of the season while the remaining "wild card" date on the OVC's ESPN schedule for this year is Thursday, Feb. 23.
