The Kohl Center may broadcast the Big Ten Network's coverage of the men's basketball away game Feb. 13 against the Indiana Hoosiers on the facility's big screens.
Vince Sweeney, senior associate athletic director for external relations, said the broadcast is tentative, but the athletic department has made a lot of progress to show the game at no cost to fans.
We hope to have it finalized in the next two days - hopefully sooner - but there's a lot of things we have to work out,"" he said.
Sweeney said the athletic department is still working on some logistical arrangements, such as making sure the scoreboard can broadcast the game and moving the practice location of one UW-Madison sports team.
""This idea's been kicked around not only for basketball, but during the football season,"" he said, adding fans and internal staff have suggested it. ""It's not a new idea, it's just an idea that looks like it might work.""
Previous scheduling conflicts in the building have prevented UW Athletics from showing the BTN broadcasts earlier in the season, but the building is available next Wednesday with only minor adjustments.
""We're optimistic it's going to happen,"" Sweeney said. ""We hope to have some fun.
