This is the fourth consecutive year that SIUE basketball fans will be able to follow the Cougars on television. SIUE and FOX Sports Midwest continued their agreement to televise SIUE men's basketball on the regional sports network that also features St. Louis Cardinals baseball and St. Louis Blues hockey.

"We are very proud of our relationship with FOX Sports Midwest," said SIUE Director of Athletics Dr. Brad Hewitt. "This opportunity for the University and Cougar basketball to reach millions of home is exposure that we could not otherwise afford."
