All seven Syracuse home games will be local cable TV. Wonder if ESPNU or CSTV will piggyback those games? Wonder if those of us with DirecTV and the Sports Pack will be able to get the games?

Orange Men's Lacrosse Games Part of Time Warner Sports 26 TV Package

All seven Orange home games will be televised by Time Warner Sports 26.

Syracuse University Athletics and Time Warner Cable have announced a television package that includes four men's basketball games, three women's basketball games and seven men's lacrosse games. The schedule begins with a double-header of Orange men's and women's basketball on Saturday, December 10. The SU women will host Massachusetts at 1:00 p.m. at the Carrier Dome and the SU men will host Colgate at 7:00 p.m. at the Dome. Both games will be televised live on Time Warner Sports 26.

“It is great to partner with our friends at Time Warner Cable,” said SU Director of Athletics Dr. Daryl Gross. “Their cooperation has allowed us to bring exciting Syracuse competition to our fans.”

The growing schedule (see below) of four more men’s and three women’s basketball games, in addition to all seven of the home men’s lacrosse contests, is the largest live programming commitment by Time Warner Sports 26 of Syracuse University athletics. It also ensures that basketball fans will see every single men’s basketball game only on Time Warner Cable beginning with next week’s (Saturday, December 10) game with Colgate.

Time Warner Sports 26, Time Warner Cable’s Syracuse Division regional sports network, has provided a growing schedule of local and regional scholastic, collegiate and professional sporting events. One of the cornerstones of that schedule has always been Syracuse University athletics.

“I’m pleased and excited that Time Warner Sports 26 and Syracuse University Athletics are teaming up to offer our subscribers and their fans the most and the best in Orange Sports,” said Time Warner Sports 26 General Manager Doug Logan.

Time Warner also produces a weekly coaches’ show, “Syracuse Sidelines,” airing Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. The program focuses on men’s basketball with SU head coach Jim Boeheim and assistant coach Mike Hopkins during the basketball season. The fall schedule profiled Orange football with head coach Greg Robinson, while the Spring schedule highlights SU men’s lacrosse with head coach John Desko.
