Northeastern Athletics announced via Twitter earlier this afternoon that the Northeastern-George Mason game scheduled for February 27th will be televised by ESPN2. The game was originally one of two options for a nationally televised CAA game that day. It will be the second game on ESPN2 for the Huskies in a 7-day span. Scheduled tip-off has been set for 12 noon.
Monday’s announcement of Bracketbuster pairings leaves the 12 CAA teams with these games:
The ESPNU Bracketbuster pairing was announced for the Northeastern Huskies on Monday. They will host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Matthews Arena on Saturday, February 20 at 1:00 p.m. It was also announced that the game will be televised nationwide on ESPN2, the second consecutive time that Northeastern’s Bracketbuster game will air on “The Deuce.”
Hockey East announced today that both games of the Sun Life Frozen Fenway event in January will be televised on NESN. Northeastern will face UNH in the first half of a doubleheader from the outdoor rink on January 8th. With added television coverage, the game time has been moved up to 4:00 p.m. with a post-game show at the conclusion of the BU-BC game. You can read the full press release at the Hockey East website.
With the conference announcing a massive 104-game TV schedule this season, Northeastern gets a nice chunk of games on the tube this year. The Huskies will have nearly half of their games played on television this season (Updated as of February 4, 2010):
