MVC TV will air three Illinois State contests, including Jan. 31 at
Loyola, Feb. 7 at Southern Illinois and Feb. 18 at Bradley, and all
three will be shown on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and Fox Sports
Midwest. The Redbirds’ Feb. 3 and Feb. 11 games, versus Evansville
and at Northern Iowa, respectively, will be streamed via ESPN3.
ISU’s Feb. 14 home game versus Wichita State is scheduled to air
nationally on either ESPN or ESPN2.
The Redbirds’ institutional package will then show the home Loyola

home contest, Feb. 25 versus Southern Illinois, is scheduled to air
on ESPN3, and Illinois State’s Feb. 28 regular-season finale at
Evansville is designated as a wildcard game, meaning it could be
selected for a broadcast later in the season.
The men's basketball MVC Tournament opening rounds, quarterfinals
and semifinals will also air on MVC TV, and the March 8 title game
can once again be watched on CBS.
Kurt Pegler and Bob Morris will provide play-by-play and analysis,
respectively, for ISU’s institutional telecasts, which will once
again be produced by Niles Media Group.
