ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Mountain West Conference has announced its national television broadcast schedule for the 2016-17 men’s basketball season, and the University of New Mexico Lobos had 24 of its games picked through the packages. The CBS Sports Network and ROOT Sports combined for 16 of UNM’s 24 selections through the conference.
New Mexico will have additional nationally-televised games on its schedule through its participation in the 2016 Wooden Legacy Classic, which is broadcasted on the ESPN family of Networks. The road game with Arizona on Dec. 20 will also be available for fans to watch on the Pac-12 Network. Road games at Illinois State, and New Mexico State will most likely be televised nationally, giving the Lobos all 30 games being nationally televised. Those two schools have yet to release their broadcast schedules.
As part of the MW’s television package, the Lobos had five of their Wednesday evening MW games moved to Tuesday and one Saturday game moved to Sunday since the original conference schedule was announced in June. Here is a list of the games that have been moved (All times in Mountain Time):
