COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Golden Eagle basketball fans around the
region who don’t get the chance to visit Eblen Center Sunday
afternoon will still have the opportunity to watch Tennessee
Tech’s two basketball teams in Ohio Valley Conference
action.
Both contests in the afternoon doubleheader against Eastern
Illinois will be televised by the Wazoo Sports Network, with the
men’s game being picked up and aired throughout the entire
Southeast region by CSS TV.
Locally, WCTE TV in Cookeville will also carry both games,
allowing fans throughout the middle Tennessee region the chance to
see both unbeaten Golden Eagle teams in OVC action.
The women’s game begins at 1 p.m., and will be seen on the
Wazoo network throughout the state of Kentucky, along with WEIU TV
in Charleston, Ill., and WCTE TV.
Veteran coach Bill Worrell (left), who directed the women’s
basketball program at Tech to more than 400 victories, will provide
the color analysis. He will join play-by-play announcer Bob Belvin
courtside in calling the action.
The men’s game is slated to tip off at 4 p.m. Belvin and Jim
Tirey are scheduled to call the games on the telecast.
Two special promotions are planned for Sunday’s games,
providing free admission to youth basketball players and one dollar
ticket options to fans.
For Jr. Pro Day, all youth basketball players will be admitted
free just by wearing their games shirts. It’s also Church
Bulletin Sunday, with fans ale to purchase (up to four) tickets for
one dollar each by showing a church bulletin at the ticket windows
in Eblen Center.
The doors will open at noon for the 1 p.m. start.
