National television is coming back to Mike McConathy Court at Prather Coliseum.

Northwestern State’s penultimate men’s basketball game of the 2026-27 season against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has been picked up by CBS Sports Network as part of the Southland Conference’s national broadcast package announced by the league Tuesday morning.

The Demons and Islanders will tip off at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 in Natchitoches as the game has been moved up one day from its original date.

Northwestern will appear on CBS Sports Network for the second straight season after facing Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches, Texas, this past January.

The late-season matchup is one of five games involving Southland teams on CBS Sports Network and one of eight linear televised games the conference announced Tuesday. That group includes Stephen F. Austin at McNeese (Jan. 4), McNeese at Stephen F. Austin (Jan. 22), Stephen F. Austin at Nicholls (Feb. 19) and McNeese at UTRGV (Feb. 22).
