Natchitoches-area cable TV subscribers will be able to watch the Northwestern State Demons’ basketball team in the NCAA Tournament this weekend on a telecast on truTV network, part of the tournament television platform.

NSU plays the Florida Gators Friday evening at 6:27 in a second-round tournament game in Austin, Texas. The winner advances to a third-round game Sunday at a time to be announced by the NCAA.

The local cable systems carry truTV. Suddenlink subscribers can use channel 63 or 737 HD. For CP-Tel customers, truTV is now available on channel 61 analog, channel 97 digital.

Satellite subscribers can watch DirecTV channel 246 or Dish Network channel 204.

The Demon Sports Network radio broadcast will begin at 6:10 Friday night on 100.7 KZBL FM of Natchitoches, the flagship station for Northwestern State sports. NCAA Tournament policies prevent NSU or the local station from providing an internet audio stream of the game. It will be available online through Dial Global/IMG.
