The Drake University men's basketball team's upcoming home games against SIU Jan. 3-4 have been selected by ESPNU and CBS Sports Network for national television broadcasts, the Missouri Valley Conference announced Wednesday, Dec. 30.

The 11-0 Bulldogs and 7-1 Salukis begin their two-game series at the Knapp Center Jan. 3 at 5 p.m. on ESPNU followed by a 6 p.m. tipoff Jan. 4 on CBS Sports Network.

The national television broadcasts are a result of the cooperation and collaboration between the Valley, ESPN, CBS Sports Network and Mediacom.

The Bulldogs enter the homestand with the nation's best record and the best start to a season in program history after collecting two wins earlier in the week at Indiana State to open MVC play.
