INDIANAPOLIS – NCAA Division II today announced the January 21st men's and women's basketball double header featuring Saginaw Valley State visiting Grand Valley State will be carried on the American Sports Network.

The lineup will tip off with coverage of three men's basketball games at the inaugural Small College Basketball Hall of Fame Classic and will be followed by 12 doubleheader matchups throughout the regular season, each starting with a women's basketball game and followed by a men's basketball game.

"Division II's broadcast agreement will continue to highlight Division II student-athletes and their accomplishments on a national stage," said Terri Steeb Gronau, vice president of Division II. "This is an exciting opportunity for men's and women's basketball student-athletes to demonstrate that they are not only great students and members of their community, but that they are truly skilled athletes as well."

An additional four flex doubleheaders (two per network) will be finalized later in the basketball season and played the weeks of Feb. 20 and 27. The flex games are expected to highlight premier and pivotal matchups.
