Irving, Texas -
For the second consecutive season Missouri Basketball will have a school record number of Big 12 games appearing on national television.
The Big 12 Conference announced its men’s basketball schedule for the 2009-10 campaign on Wednesday and the Missouri Tigers will enjoy nine nationally-televised contests, two better than the seven nationally-televised Big 12 games the team enjoyed during its record-breaking 31-7 campaign in 2008-09. Mizzou will have eight games appearing on the ESPN family of networks, while the March 6 regular-season finale against Kansas at Mizzou Arena will be televised on CBS.
Missouri has three Big 12 Conference games not currently listed for television. Home games against Iowa State (Feb. 10) and Colorado (Feb. 24) and a road game at ISU (March 2) will have the option to be televised by the Mizzou Sports Network. That announcement will come at a later date.
Missouri opens Big 12 play with three consecutive national TV appearances. The Tigers host Kansas State on ESPN2 on Jan. 9, before traveling to Lubbock, Texas, on Jan. 13 to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders on ESPNU. Missouri then travels to Oklahoma on Jan. 16 for an ESPN or ESPN2 game. If the game is designated for ESPN, game time is slated for noon. If ESPN2 televises the game, it will be carried at 1 p.m.
The Big 12 Conference will once again partner with ESPN Regional to produce the Big 12 Network in 2009-10. The Big 12 Network began in 2008-09 and was formerly known as ESPN Plus. Please check with mutigers.com throughout the year for regional network information for the Big 12 Network.
