LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Southeastern Conference announced the women’s basketball TV schedule for the 2011-12 season which includes nine exciting Kentucky women’s basketball matchups, including two games on ESPN2’s Big Monday series.
The conference package selected nine of UK’s 29 regular-season games for national or regional TV, including four games on the ESPN family of networks. Two matchups will be Big Monday games on ESPN2 (at Tennessee on Feb. 13 and home vs. Vanderbilt on Feb. 20) while ESPNU will televise UK’s rematch against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., on Dec. 18 and UK’s conference road game at Mississippi State on Feb. 26. The ESPN2 game against Tennessee also will be available in 3D.
Fox Sports Net picked up two games in Lexington on Jan. 8 vs. Mississippi State and Jan. 12 vs. Tennessee. CSS selected UK at Florida on Jan. 1 and a home game against Alabama on Jan. 29. The Cats’ matchup with the Gators in Lexington on Jan. 22 will be broadcast on the SEC Network.
In addition to the nine regular-season games, the entire SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn., at the Bridgestone Arena will be broadcast with the first and second round games airing on FSN. The semifinals will run on ESPNU for the third consecutive year, while ESPN2 will again carry the championship game.
The majority of games not televised nationally will be available as a part of ESPN Full Court, the pay subscription college basketball out-of-market service, and on ESPN3.com.
Additional game times and UK IMG Sports Network TV information will be released at a later date.
