Women's basketball gets as many as eight BTN games

The IU women’s basketball team will have up to eight games televised on the Big Ten Network this season. The games and times were announced by the conference Tuesday.

“The Big Ten Network gives our program incredible exposure and will continue to help us build the new era of IU women’s basketball,” IU Coach Curt Miller said in a release. “We are excited about the announcement of the possibility to play as many as eight nationally televised games during the 2013-14 season. Other games will continue to be streamed live at BTN.com.”

The first Big Ten Network appearance for the Hoosiers will be against Purdue at 7 p.m. Jan. 6 in West Lafayette. That same week, the Hoosiers’ home game against Ohio State at 4:30 p.m. Jan. 11 will also be aired on the Big Ten Network.

The other games of the Hoosiers’ Big Ten schedule will be aired on the Big Ten Digital Network (BTDN), the conference’s online platform.

The Hoosiers’ other Big Ten Network television games include Wisconsin on Feb. 8, at Nebraska on Feb. 16 and Illinois on Feb. 22.
