ST. LOUIS, MO — The Saint Louis University athletics department announced on Tuesday that it had finalized its men’s basketball television broadcast schedule for the upcoming season. The Billikens will begin the year on Monday, November 6, with a home game at Chaifetz Arena against Southern Indiana. That game will tip off at 7 p.m., and will be televised locally on Bally Sports Midwest.
Overall, Saint Louis will play 31 regular season games in 2023-24. Twenty-six of those games will be broadcast on television.
The majority of which will be on Bally Sports Midwest. That network will carry 13 of SLU’s games this season.
The Billikens will have 14 games broadcast on national networks, five on the ESPN family of networks, four on USA Network, and four on CBS Sports Network. Two Billiken games will not be broadcast on television, but will be available through the Bally Sports Midwest Extra streaming network.
Saint Louis will have three games that won’t be broadcast live nor available through any streaming service. Those will be the three road games SLU will play in December at Southern Illinois (December 2), at Drake (December 6), and at North Carolina State (December 20).
All of the Billikens’ 18 Atlantic 10 Conference games will be televised. The A-10 season begins January 3, when SLU will host Loyola Chicago.
Included in the league games Saint Louis will play in are two Friday Night A-10 Game of the Week broadcasts on ESPN 2. The Billikens will play rival VCU in both those contests, one on January 19 in Richmond and the other on February 16 at Chaifetz.
The regular season will conclude with a game on March 9 in Philadelphia against Saint Joseph’s that will be broadcast on USA Network.
The Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament will be March 12-17 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The early round games will be on USA Network. The semifinals will be on CBS Sports Network. And the championship game will be on the CBS national network.
Every Billiken game, home or away, will be broadcast on radio on KMOX 1120 AM.
