COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Now that television schedules have been
determined, Tennessee Tech has announced the starting times for its
men’s and women’s basketball games for 2009-2010.
The Tech men’s team will appear on television six times
during the regular season, including a national appearance on ESPNU
at UT Martin in January. The women’s team has five TV games
slated.
In general, Tech’s home games have standard starting times
throughout the year. For most doubleheaders, the women’s
games begin at 5:30 p.m. and the men’s game starts at 7:30
p.m.
The starting times are different for two weekend doubleheaders in
December.
For single home games, most of the home contests will tipoff at 7
p.m. One major exception is the women’s game against Lipscomb
on Monday, Nov. 30, which starts at 8 p.m. following the popular
Cookeville Christmas Parade.
Tech hosts two Saturday doubleheaders in December, including one
that has moved from different dates.
On Saturday, Dec. 12, the men’s team opens the day with a 2
p.m. game against Ball State. The women’s game follows at 4
p.m. against Southern Illinois.
As a special feature of the day, the women’s program will be
recognized at halftime of the first game for becoming just the
seventh program nationally to achieve 800 victories.
The following weekend, Tech hosts a Saturday evening twinbill in
Eblen Center. The women open the day with a 6 p.m. contest against
Belmont, followed by the men at 8 p.m. against Bryan College. The
men’s game was originally announced for Dec. 10, and the
women’s game was originally set for Dec. 20.
There is one additional change to the original men’s
schedule as it was announced last month; Tech’s game at
Lipscomb University has been moved ahead one month, and will be
played in Nashville on Thursday, Nov. 19. It was first scheduled
for Dec. 19.
WCTE TV will televise five home doubleheaders in Eblen Center. The
WCTE schedule includes games Jan. 7 against Morehead State, Jan. 21
against Austin Peay, Jan. 23 against Tennessee State, Feb. 11
against Murray State, and Feb. 13 against UT Martin.
The men’s game at UT Martin on Saturday, Jan. 14, will begin
at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.
Both teams got the season underway last Thursday by hosting
exhibition games. The women defeated Tennessee Wesleyan, 97-51,
while the Tech men topped Bluefield, 85-78.
The regular season starts for both teams on Friday (Nov. 13). The
women play Alabama in a tournament in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a
5 p.m. start time. The men get the year underway with a 7 p.m. game
at the University of Minnesota.
