Should Princeton advance to play Missouri in the second round of the Preseason NIT, that game would be played on Thurs., Nov. 17, at 8 p.m. EST at Mizzou Arena and would be televised live by ESPN2.
Princeton hosts Drexel Nov. 14 to begin the regular season, while Missouri hosts Sam Houston State in the first round of the tournament the same day.
Either Princeton's or Drexel's potential second-round tournament game was originally scheduled for Wed., Nov. 16, and could still be played on that day should the game not be at Missouri.
The Tigers will also have another game televised by ESPN2 in 2005-06, the matchup at Wake Forest Dec. 17 (4 p.m.). Princeton's regular-season finale against Penn at Jadwin Gym March 7 (7 p.m.) will also be televised on either ESPNU, ESPN2 or ESPN.
CSTV will televise Princeton's game against Stanford Dec. 21 in the Pete Newell Challenge in Oakland, Calif. (8:30 p.m. EST), while the Tigers' road matchup against Cornell at Newman Arena Feb. 17 (7 p.m.) will be televised by the YES Network as part of the Ivy League's YES basketball package.
Princeton's home Ivy League games, with the exception of the regular-season finale against Penn, will be broadcast locally by Patriot 8 in the Princeton area.
