Mike Safford
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The College of Idaho men's basketball team will play before a national television audience for the first time in program history, as the Coyotes meet the University of Utah Friday night inside the John Huntsman Center.
The game will be televised by the Pac-12 Networks as their Friday Game of the Week - reaching nearly 50-million households nationwide. In the Treasure Valley, the game can be watched on Dish Network Channel 413. It is also in homes with Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Bright House Networks, Frontier Communications, and Comcast/Xfinity.
Longtime television voice Rich Cellini will handle the play-by-play, with former Weber State head coach Joe Cravens providing the color commentary.
It marks the first C of I basketball game to be broadcast nationally in program history. The 1996 NAIA Division II national championship game between the Yotes and Whitworth was carried regionally on Prime Sports (now ROOT Sports).
