Basketball Schedule Released

BASKETBALL

As many as 17 of the Dawg’s 30 regular-season games will come against teams that played in the 2010 postseason, according to the complete
2010-11 men’s basketball schedule, announced today by head coach Mark Fox.

Additionally, the Dawgs are slated to make several national television appearances, including once on CBS and at least five others on either ESPN or ESPN2.  More TV dates will follow upon completion of the non-conference broadcast schedule.

“I’m very excited about the schedule we have put together,” Fox said.  “We created it to position ourselves for post-season play and I think we were
successful in that goal.  The competition within the SEC will be tremendous. I believe we will have the toughest league in the country this season.”

“I’m also pleased about the national exposure that we will get throughout this schedule.  I think it speaks well, both for our program and our league.”

The Dawgs tip off their SEC slate Jan. 8 at home against defending champ Kentucky, the first of seven straight games against post-season participants. UK also completes the 7-game stretch Jan. 29 in Lexington.

Even the Dawg’s so-called “bye” date in the league schedule ­the week of Feb. 7-11 has been filled with a stern, out-of-conference test. The Dawgs will play host to Atlantic 10 Conference foe Xavier on Feb. 8.  The Musketeers have averaged 27 wins over the past four seasons.

Season tickets, which include a reserved seat to all 16 regular-season home games, are $225 and on sale now to Basketball Enhancement Fund (BEF)
