KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State men's basketball will have three nationally televised games this season, including the first two nationally televised regular season home games as Conference USA announced its full TV schedule Thursday afternoon. All three games will be shown on CBS Sports Network, which will also be the Owls' first-ever appearance on the network.
The first contest will be KSU's home game with preseason No. 25 Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are just the second-ever Power Four team to make an appearance in the Convocation Center as well as the first-ever preseason ranked team. That game will be a Sunday, Nov. 24 contest, starting at 1 p.m.
The next two games will be both of the Owls' CUSA contests against Liberty. The first will be on Thursday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m., while the second will be played at Liberty on Sunday, March 2 at 1 p.m., in a game originally scheduled for March 1. These will be the first meetings between the two teams since the 2023 Atlantic Sun championship game, won by the Owls 67-66. The ESPN2 broadcast was also the only other national TV game in the Convocation Center.
The three regular season national TV games are the most for the Owls since the 2021-22 season, when KSU played on FS1 (at Creighton), the ACC Network (at Wake Forest) and ESPNU (at Nebraska).
