Nationally-televised Basketball Games Bring Spotlight to TSU

By Texas Southern University

H&PE Arena will be a sea of maroon on Saturday, February 12, when TSU basketball – and the university as a whole – gains the national stage. NBA TV is broadcasting both the women’s and men’s games, at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., respectively, versus Grambling State. All Tiger alumni, as well as students, faculty, staff and supporters, are encouraged to attend.

A limited number of free maroon, TSU-branded t-shirts will be distributed at the game, along with other special giveaways. An “Advance Your Shot” scholarship contest will be held during breaks in the games, giving selected students the opportunity to earn additional funding for their education.

“Maroon Out Day is about more than just a basketball game,” said Dr. Lesia Crumpton-Young, TSU president. “This is an opportunity for Tiger Nation to represent this great university and show the strength of TSU’s spirit to the world. We are honored to represent HBCUs on NBA TV.”
