The Atlantic 10 Conference announced the 2022-23 men’s basketball schedule on Wednesday, which features St. Bonaventure eight times on national television.
“Announcing our conference and TV schedule always means that the start of A-10 Basketball is right around the corner! The addition of Loyola Chicago has enhanced an already robust schedule and television package,” said Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade in a release. “This should be an exciting season for our fans, with every game available thanks to our three media partners, ESPN, CBS Sports and NBC Sports.”
After a 13-game non-conference slate highlighted by neutral site contests against Notre Dame and Iona, the Bonnies kick off A-10 play with home games against UMass (Dec. 30) and George Mason (Jan. 4).
St. Bonaventure then hits the road for two games, traveling to Saint Louis on January 7 and then Rhode Island on January 10. They’ll then return home for a pair of games against Richmond (Jan. 14) and rival Duquesne (Jan. 18) — the former televised on USA Network.
USA will also air road games against Duquesne (Feb. 11) and at UMass (March 4). The network will come into the Reilly Center for matchups against George Washington (Feb. 19) and Saint Joseph’s (Feb. 26).
CBS Sports Network and ESPN will televise just one St. Bonaventure game each this season. CBS Sports will broadcast the January 28 game at VCU and an ESPN network will carry the February 4 home game against Dayton, the likely pre-season favorite. NBC Digital will also air the Feb. 22 game at Davidson.
Rounding out St. Bonaventure’s home slate are games against Fordham (Jan. 25) and La Salle (Feb. 8). They will also travel to new A-10 opponent Loyola-Chicago (Jan. 21), Richmond (Feb. 1) and Fordham (Feb. 15).
The second round and the quarterfinals of the A-10 Tournament will be televised on USA. CBS Sports will carry the semifinals and CBS will carry the championship game.
All A-10 games that aren’t nationally televised are available online on ESPN+.
