FRESNO, Calif. - The 2005-06 Fresno State men's basketball television schedule has been released and 12 games will be broadcast live on KFRE (WB 59) and ESPN, collectively, as announced by the Fresno State Athletics Department and Bulldog Sports Network (BSN).
BSN, which is a production of Bulldog Sports Properties, is making its debut this year with nine televised basketball games on KFRE. The BSN telecast will showcase new special effects, graphics and special student-athlete biographies throughout the season.
Fresno State will have a national audience on ESPN's "Big Monday" on Feb. 27, 2006 when the Bulldogs host Western Athletic Conference opponent Boise State.
In addition, Fresno State will be shown regionally on SportsWest for two games when the 'Dogs entertain WAC nemesis Nevada on Jan. 18, 2006 before traveling to Boise State on Feb. 4.
Still further, the 2006 WAC Men's Basketball Championship Tournament, which will be held in Reno, Nev., will be broadcast as well. SportsWest will televise the quarterfinals and semifinals while the title game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
"I'm excited about our new in-house television production and partnering with ESPN and SportsWest," Fresno State head basketball coach Steve Cleveland said. "Being part of Bulldog Sports Network from the ground up is something very special for us. The national presence we'll have on ESPN and SportsWest is a great recruiting tool and we're looking forward to showcasing our program. I've had a close personal relationship with ESPN the past eight years at BYU so to continue that partnership means a lot. I'm excited to be back in the WAC and watch it get the recognition it deserves."
