ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy men's and women's basketball teams are prominently featured on the CBS Sports Network television schedule for the sport announced earlier today by the network. There will be 18 Patriot League games aired by the network this season, with the Navy teams accounting for a minimum of five of those telecasts.
The Navy men's team is scheduled to be on the CBS Sports Network a minimum of three times during the regular season: Nov. 11 against Penn (5:30 p.m.) as part of the Veterans Classic doubleheader and both games against Army (Jan. 23 in West Point and Feb. 20 in Annapolis, both starting at 1:30 p.m.). The latter game against the Black Knights will serve as this year's Star Game.
Navy's Feb. 27 game at Lehigh also could be chosen to be televised by the network. A decision on that will be made closer to the game as part of the league's flex package. Additionally, the Patriot League Tournament semifinal (March 7) and championship (March 10) games will once again be aired by the CBS Sports Network.
The Mids have appeared on the network 76 times since its inception as College Sports Television (CSTV) in 2004-05.
