BRENTWOOD—For the second year in a row, the battle between Austin Peay State University men's basketball team and rival Murray State in the Dunn Center will be carried on the ESPN family of networks as part of the 10-game Ohio Valley Conference offering announced Thursday by the league office.

The Feb. 13 First Financial Battle of the Border contest is slated for an 8 p.m. tipoff in the Dunn Center on ESPNU. Last season's Valentine's Day matchup was a battle until the final buzzer in a wild 73-71 contest that ultimately went to the Racers.

Additionally, Austin Peay fans can expect to find the Govs somewhere within the SEC Network framework for matchups against Vanderbilt (Nov. 20), Arkansas (Dec. 3) and Georgia (Dec. 30).

In addition, the OVC Men's Basketball Tournament semifinals will air on ESPNU. The OVC Tournament championship game will air on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 7. The tournament will be held at The Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana for the third consecutive year, a partnership recently extended through 2023.

For the second year in a row, all Austin Peay home and Ohio Valley Conference contests will be broadcast on ESPN+, the first-ever multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service from The Walt Disney Company's Direct-to-Consumer and International division in partnership with ESPN. It offers fans thousands of additional live events, on-demand content and original programming not available on ESPN's linear TV or digital networks. ESPN+ is an integrated part of the completely redesigned ESPN App. Already the leading sports app, the new ESPN App is the premier all-in-one digital sports platform for fans across mobile and tv-connected devices. Fans can subscribe to ESPN+ through the ESPN App for just $4.99 a month (or $49.99 per year).

Games aired on an ESPN network will also be available through the ESPN App, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
