The Big 12 will be well represented on the Worldwide Leader as the conference announced today that the men's basketball season will feature over 100 games televised on ESPN or one of its auxiliary networks. This includes the popular Big Monday series, which will feature eight specific Big 12 match-ups through the 2011-12 season.
Key match-ups abound through the Big Monday schedule, but it kicks off with a Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend extravaganza that features Texas A&M against Mizzou in the opener and then Baylor against Kansas that evening. A match-up between Texas and Missouri will be interesting on January 30th to watch new head coach Frank Haith play a tough conference opponent. And an in-state rivalry between Kansas and Kansas State is also a must watch on February 13. The complete schedule is below:
