FOX Sports Midwest to televise seven Billiken games

Saint Louis University and FOX Sports Midwest announced Tuesday that seven Billiken men’s basketball games will be carried on the network during the 2020-21 season.

The FOX Sports Midwest telecast schedule begins with Saturday’s game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which is set for a 7 p.m. tipoff at Chaifetz Arena. Dan McLaughlin, who for more than 20 seasons has called St. Louis Cardinals games for FSMW, will serve as the primary play-by-play voice for the fifth year in a row. Billiken Hall of Famer Scott Highmark returns as the analyst.

The agreement with FOX Sports Midwest was reached on behalf of SLU by its athletics multimedia rightsholder, Learfield IMG College’s Billikens Sports Properties.

“We are thrilled to renew our great partnership with FOX Sports Midwest,” SLU Director of Athletics Chris May said. “Building community is one of our strategic objectives, and the exposure generated from our TV schedule helps us reach that objective. We are appreciative of the support from General Manager Jack Donovan and the work of the talented FOX Sports Midwest crew, who deliver a first-class production to our fans across the country.”

All games airing on FOX Sports Midwest will also stream on FOX Sports GO to all subscribers in the FOX Sports Midwest footprint. Additionally, the games will be simulcast on ESPN+ through the Atlantic 10 Conference’s ESPN+ agreement.
