BROADCASTS NAIA TOURNAMENTS
Marion, IN - WIWU-TV will once
again provide extensive coverage of the NAIA men’s
and women’s basketball tournaments, following the
teams from Indiana Wesleyan University, and this year
will broadcast each IWU game live on the TV channel.
WIWU-TV made special arrangements with the NAIA to
simulcast the previously online-only webcast,
provided for subscribers to the national tournament.
“This is a first for us and the NAIA, “ said Randall
E. King, Director of Broadcast Media for the
university. “It won’t look quite like our usual
television broadcasts, but it will be live action
from all the games, bringing great basketball action
home to our viewers in Grant County.” he said. The
broadcasts begin on Wednesday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m.
from Sioux City, Iowa with the IWU Women’s opening
round game, against Concordia University of Nebraska.
The men’s team kicks off its tournament from Branson,
Missouri on Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 p.m., facing
the University of Virginia-College at Wise.
