Duquesne men’s and women’s basketball will receive increased exposure this season after the university reached an agreement with SportsNet Pittsburgh (SNP) to broadcast 21 games and the Duquesne Basketball Coach’s Show.
“We’re excited to be able to have a consistent presence in the Pittsburgh and surrounding market for Duquesne men’s and women’s basketball with our agreement with SportsNet Pittsburgh,” Duquesne athletic director Dave Harper said in a statement. “The partnership with SNP strengthens the reach of our basketball programs both regionally and nationally.”
There will be 10 men’s and 11 women’s games broadcast on SNP. The schedule includes each of the first five home men’s games and the first three home games for the women at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse. Part of the package will be the women’s City Game with Pitt on Nov. 18.
