Lincoln
- On
Thursday morning the Big Ten Conference and the Big Ten Network announced their
TV and BTN.com schedules for the 2013 baseball season. The Huskers are slated
to make four nationally-televised appearances on BTN, with another nine games
streamed live on BTN.com (subscription required).
Four
of the BTN.com streams will also be shown live across the state of Nebraska on
NET.
Overall,
all 21 Husker home games will be either on TV or streamed on the internet, as
HuskersNSide will stream 14 games that weren't picked up by BTN or BTN.com.
Every
Friday night Big Ten Conference home game will be shown on either BTN or NET/BTN.com,
while Nebraska's game with preseason No. 1 Arkansas at Hawks Field on April 16
at 6:35 p.m. will also be shown nationally on the BTN. The Huskers' April 9
meeting with Creighton at Hawks Field is also scheduled to be shown on
NET/BTN.com.
Nebraska's
first road appearance on BTN will come on Friday, April 19, when the Huskers
pay a visit to defending Big Ten champion Purdue. Games two and three of the
weekend series will each be streamed on BTN.com.
Also
on the road, Nebraska's entire three-game series at Minnesota is scheduled to
be streamed on BTN.com. The trip to Minnesota is the NU's final regular-season
road trip of the season.
BTN
will offer its most extensive baseball and softball coverage ever, with over
220 events airing on BTN, BTN2Go and BTN.com for the 2013 season. BTN will air
at least 84 conference matchups, including the entire Big Ten Baseball
Tournament, which will take place at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Highlights
and coverage of Big Ten baseball and softball will be featured on the Diamond
Report, which airs Sunday nights during the season beginning in April.
Hosts Rick Pizzo, Mike Hall and various analysts will discuss Big Ten matchups
and breakout performances from the weekend's games.
