IRVING, Texas - Conference USA has announced its preliminary baseball television schedule for the 2012 season, including three contests for Southern Miss this spring.
The schedule currently features games to appear nationally on Fox Sports Networks (FSN), CBS Sports Network and ESPN 3, as well as regionally on CSS Sports, Cox Sports Television (Louisiana) and the Longhorn Network. Additional games remain a possibility and will be announced at a later date.
The Golden Eagles are set to appear on CSS Sports once during the year on March 24 at home versus Houston with the first pitch being moved to 6 p.m. Southern Miss also will appear on Fox Sports Net twice, with a road contest at Rice, Sunday, April 1, and a home tilt versus Memphis on April 21. Game time for that matchup against the Tigers has been pushed up to 12 noon.
"Conference USA has established itself as a national power in baseball and we are pleased that more of our fans will be able to watch our teams play this season on television," said Conference USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky.
Included in the current schedule are a record-21 regular season games as well as a live broadcast of the C-USA Baseball Tournament Championship Game on Sunday, May 27. Additional C-USA Championship games may be added to the television schedule.
