For the second straight season, Sirius Satellite Radio will air selected Horizon League men's basketball regular-season and League tournament games as part of its Sirius College Sports Radio lineup.


Sirius will air a number of Horizon League games this season using feeds from one of the competing schools' official radio networks and make them available nationwide via Sirius' satellite radio system.


Sirius Satellite Radio's 2005-06 broadcast schedule of Horizon League men's basketball will tip-off with Cleveland State University's game at Michigan State University on Friday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. ET. The game can be heard on Sirius channel 181, which regularly airs ESPN Deportes.


Additional Horizon League games on Sirius Satellite Radio will be announced as the season unfolds. Last year more than 35 Horizon League games were broadcast on Sirius.


"We are pleased to be able to continue our partnership with Sirius Satellite Radio," said Jonathan B. LeCrone, Horizon League Commissioner. "This is an opportunity to continue to provide national exposure for our men's basketball teams and make some of our best games available to a nationwide audience. We hope college basketball fans find this a great way to stay in touch with their favorite Horizon League teams."
