The Murray State men's basketball team is locked into three of nine OVC television games across ESPN networks for the upcoming season.

The Racers will appear on ESPNU Jan. 9 when they travel to Jacksonville State in Alabama, and at home on ESPN2 Jan. 23 when the Belmont Bruins visit the CFSB Center. On Feb. 13, the Racers' game at Austin Peay will be carried live by ESPNU.

The OVC schedule includes nine total men's basketball televised games -- six regular season contests and three OVC Tournament games -- that will appear on one of the linear networks during the season.

Five of the regular season matchups and the OVC Tournament semifinals will air on ESPNU, while one regular season game and the OVC Tournament championship game will air on ESPN2.

The schedule also includes a women's basketball matchup on Thursday, January 9 as Tennessee Tech hosts Austin Peay on ESPNU. In addition, all seven games of the OVC Women's Basketball Tournament, as well as the first round and quarterfinals of the men's tournament will air on either ESPN3 or ESPN+ streaming service.

The 2020 OVC Championship tournament will be held at The Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana for the third consecutive year from March 4-7.

An additional 209 regular season conference games (102 men's, 107 women's) and approximately 110 non-conference contests will be streamed on ESPN+.

Games aired on an ESPN network will also be available through the ESPN App, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
