ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – The South Atlantic Conference will have one men's and one women's basketball game appear on the CBS Sports Division II National Game of the Week this season. The Anderson at Queens men's and women's double-header on Saturday, Jan. 24 will be featured on the national outlet. It is the third appearance for the South Atlantic Conference on the National Game of the Week.
"The game is a great opportunity for the South Atlantic Conference's brand of basketball to get national exposure," said South Atlantic Conference Commissioner Patrick Britz. "Queens has one of the best basketball venues in Division II and we are looking forward to promoting the South Atlantic Conference and Division II basketball."
The game marks the first-ever national television game for Queens and the Anderson women's team. The Anderson vs. Lincoln Memorial men's game was the Game of the Week during the 2013 season.
The Anderson men earned an at-large bid to the 2013-14 NCAA D-II Men's Basketball Championship after finishing the season 22-10 overall and 15-7 in the South Atlantic Conference. The Trojans made a run to the South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Championship finals as the No. 3 seed. Queens finished the season 14-13 overall and 12-10 in South Atlantic Conference play a season ago.
Anderson and Queens split the season series last year, with the Trojans defeating Queens in the first round of the SAC Basketball Championship.
The Anderson women finished their 2013-14 campaign 16-14 overall and 11-11 during SAC play. Queens went 7-19 overall and 6-16 in South Atlantic Conference action last season. The teams split the regular-season series last year with each team winning at home.
