NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- For the second time in eight days Tennessee State’s men’s basketball team announced it will play a nationally televised game this season.
Coach Dana Ford announced on Monday the Tigers’ season-opener on Nov. 10 at Kansas will be broadcast on ESPNU.
Last week Ford said the Tigers game at Texas on Dec. 18 would be on ESPN2.
The game against Kansas at historic Allen Fieldhouse will tip off at 8 p.m.
The Jayhawks went 31-5 and ended the season last year in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament with a 74-60 loss to Oregon.
TSU went 17-13 in Ford’s third season.
Kansas is predicted to be a top five team in most preseason publications.
The Jayhawks, who have claimed 13 consecutive Big 12 championships, return two regular starters — guards Devonte’ Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk — and three players — guard Lagerald Vick, center Udoka Azubuike and forward Mitch Lighfoot — who were part-time starters or saw a lot of action.
