NATCHITOCHES – A national television audience will have an opportunity to see the Northwestern State men's basketball team in the 2025-26 season.
 
The Southland Conference and CBS Sports Network announced Tuesday the Demons' Jan. 26 matchup at Stephen F. Austin will air on CBS Sports Network. Tipoff for the game in Nacogdoches, Texas, will be at 8 p.m.
