Cheer on the Broncs from your "Home Court"

You now have more chances than ever to catch live Broncs action from your home court!

Rider basketball makes several scheduled television appearances this season, and alumni are getting in the game. DC Metro-area alumni already have their seats reserved at a local sports tavern, and you too can join or even organize a cheering section from your home town.

The Broncs’ television appearances begin with at least three games from the ESPN Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Florida during Thanksgiving weekend. The games will be broadcast on one of the ESPN family of channels, beginning with the game on Thursday, November 22 at 2 p.m. vs. North Carolina State.

Fans can catch the Broncs on the Madison Square Garden (MSG) network on Monday, January 21, as MAAC rival Iona comes to the Broncs’ Zoo at 7 p.m.

The men return to ESPN2 on Saturday, February 2, as they take on the Siena Saints at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. at 2 p.m.

Men’s and women’s basketball make a double-header appearance on ESPNU on Friday, February 29. The women take on Siena at 4:30 p.m., followed by the men vs. cross-state rival Saint Peter’s at 7 p.m.

The early rounds of the MAAC championship basketball tournament are aired on MSG and the men’s championship game will appear on ESPN2, Monday, March 10. Check your local listings. Some of the other MAAC championship tournaments will also be televised. Check out www.maacsports.com or www.gobroncs.com for more information and updated schedules.

DC Metro alumni are invited to gather at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern, 639 Indiana Avenue NW (7th & Penn NW), Washington, D.C. (www.shelfdc.com) for the Siena game on February 2 and the Saint Peter’s game on February 29.
