With the start of basketball just around the corner, beginning with Midnight Madness on October 14th, The University of Memphis men's basketball team released its 2011-2012 television schedule on Thursday.

Out of the 31 games the Tigers play, 27 will be broadcast on television. Memphis' 17 national televised games will be carried by CBS, CBS Sports Network, FOX Sports Net, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. Comcast Sports South will televise the other 10 contests.

The Tigers first regular season game against Belmont is scheduled for an 11 a.m. tipoff as a part of ESPN's College Hoops Marathon. This is the fourth straight year the Tigers are a part of ESPN's college hoops tip-off.

Notable games to be televised in November include The EA Sports Maui Invitational in Hawaii, with games against Michigan and the winner of a matchup between Duke and Tennessee. The tournament will be broadcast on ESPN.

In December, the Tigers have tough road contests against Miami, which will be televised on ESPN2, and Louisville, which will be broadcast on CBS.
