Only 4 games on CBSCS and none on ESPN:

SMU at Rice
ECU at SMU
and both Memphis games....

Any chance we can get a local TV package again to carry some road games? I really miss that...another casualty of the death penalty...

I'm ok with this.
Maybe it will bring some more folks out to the games.
Networks can make changes during the season.

Moody is a great place to watch a bb game.
One of my favorites along with " The Pit" in Albuquerque.
Tremendous home court advantage when the fans come out.

I agree about the home games, I never miss one, but it would be nice if a local station would carry a road package like they did back in the day.

Guess we burned them on the football team and all the TV slots there.

Also, not much reason to show SMU until we start winning, which will hopefully be this year. 8)

When were our last victories on TV in football and basketball? Was the UAB game in Dallas in 2006 our last viewable win?

I remember we beat TCU on a Thursday night in 2006 on CSTV national Thursday game....

Football was probably the Tulane win in 2006 on CSTV.

I believe the TCU game has been televised the past couple of years.

Last night at the Tip Off Dinner, Coach Doherty mentioned that Time-Warner cable could be picking up several basketball games this season, most likely on their "Metro sports" channel.
