I am guessing the rest of the Times and Television Coverage will be announced this week October 7th thru 11th, or perhaps on Monday (October 14th) of next week at the 2024 AAC Media Days event.

"BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - WKU Men’s Basketball senior guard Don McHenry and graduate forward Tyrone Marshall Jr. have been named as Preseason All-Conference USA honorees for 2024-25. In addition to the pair of preseason all-conference selections, the Hilltoppers were selected to finish in second place in the CUSA Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll and received two first-place votes following a vote by the conference’s head coaches....

The Hilltoppers are picked to finish second in the CUSA Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll. Along with McHenry and Marshall returning, the Tops return significant impact players in Jalen Jackson, Jack Edelen, Khristian Lander, Teagan Moore, Enoch Kalambay and Babacar Faye. These eight returners helped lead WKU to its first-ever CUSA tournament title and the team’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2013 in 2023-24. The tournament championship marked a 44th conference championship for the program all-time and 24th NCAA Tournament appearance in the program’s history.

Hilltopper Basketball begins an 18-game regular-season home slate in Diddle Arena on Monday, Nov. 4 hosting Wichita State. The Tops will open 2024-25 competition with a charity exhibition game hosting UAB on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. CT in Diddle Arena...."

'It's just a guessing game': Ben Johnson reacts to media's last place prediction
Johnson and the Gophers don't seem too worried about the preseason media poll.

Of course they don't, it's not getting any worse...

18. Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Gophs made tangible strides a year ago in a make-or-break season for Ben Johnson, but got ravaged by portal and draft departures this spring. Keeping Dawson Garcia was a big win though, as was the addition of Charlotte transfer Lu’Cye Patterson to replace Elijah Hawkins at point guard. This is an old team, with 10 of 13 scholarship players in at least their fourth college season, and they’ll need to lean on that experience to scrap out Big Ten wins with less talent than much of the league.

Looks like 6:30 pm for the Emporia State game, immediately after the Chiefs game.
