AIKEN, S.C..--USC Aiken’s home men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader with Augusta State on Saturday, January 6 has been selected by the NCAA for live broadband streaming through CSTV. The women’s game begins at 5:30 PM with the men’s contest to follow at 7:30 PM. Fans can log onto www.NCAAsports.com/DII for the live broadcast.
“This is a great opportunity for national exposure of not only our basketball programs, but of our University as well,” said Brad Fields, USC Aiken Assistant AD for Communications. “We already have an audience that tunes into our live audio/video streaming of games, but on Saturday, those folks will have the chance to see a broadcast with all the bells and whistles of a television production.”
NCAA Division II recently partnered with CSTV on a three-year regular-season television and broadband package agreement that will showcase Division II football and men’s and women’s basketball games live. On January 6, six games will be broadcast live with two of them occurring at USC Aiken. The doubleheader is the only one in the Peach Belt Conference scheduled for 2006-07 (Armstrong Atlantic State and Columbus State will have their February 24 contest aired on CSTV television).
Both USC Aiken squads enter the week with reason for excitement. The Lady Pacers are off to an 8-3 start and carry a four-game winning streak into Wednesday’s conference opener with USC Upstate at “The Courthouse”. The Pacers are 5-7 and have added Abdul Herrera, a 6-11 transfer from Cincinnati, to the mix when they too take the floor on Wednesday at 7:30 against the Spartans.
Brad Muller, former radio voice of Georgia College & State University athletics, will provide the play-by-play on Saturday while Ken Gerlinger, Director of Media Relations at the Peach Belt Conference, will serve as color analyst.
