When are basketball game times announced?

Hoping to make the Louisville away game this year and can’t recall when they announce tip times ahead of college bball games so hoping someone can help me out. Thanks!

Dunno. It’s football season.

I could be wrong, but usually I think it becomes official in a one to two week window just before each game.

Hmm I don’t think so, I think we usually have tip off times for all regular seasons games before the start of the season. Exactly when before I don’t know

I think that the networks are assigned games quite early, but tip off times not as much. However, it does seem like at least the conference game tips are set very early.

UL is on a Saturday so there are many more potential start times versus a week night.

There are a few tip times published. Not UL though.

Last year the “full” TV schedule was released at the end of September. But there were 4 network flex games.

“The Vols have 25 of 31 contests confirmed for linear television, including nine on SEC Network, three on ESPN, seven on ESPN2 and two on CBS. Four others are considered “netflex” games, including three with ESPN or ESPN2 options and one with an ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU option. Those decisions will be made 7-10 days ahead of those games. There will be five matchups streamed live on SECN+. The full 2023-24 schedule is available at UTSports.com.”

I thought I’d go to this game when I first saw the schedule, but then I realized it’s the same day as UT-Mississippi State football and we’re tailgating for that game. Hopefully the timing will work so we can watch basketball at our tailgate.

Going forward, there will be more flex involved in the basketball schedules. They left it wide open for football in this first year at 16 teams.

I think the TV slots for that game might be limited since it will be on a Saturday full of college football in early November. If it ends up being a streamed game, I'd guess it will be at night.

I would not mind seeing Tennessee play St. Bonaventure on a future schedule.

Former NBA beat writer Adrian Wojnowski is now part of the St. Bonaventure program.
