On Friday, November 14th, Westwood One will air the inaugural Quicken Loans Veterans Classic from the campus of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The college basketball doubleheader—featuring Tennessee vs. #15 VCU followed by #18 Michigan State at Navy—tips off Westwood One’s season-long coverage of NCAA Basketball – which will once again conclude with the broadcast of the Final Four in April. Here is our regular season schedule.
John Sadak and Hall of Fame coach John Thompson will deliver all the action of the Quicken Loans Veterans Classic live from Alumni Hall, beginning at 6:15 PM ET. You will be able to listen to free live streaming audio of the broadcasts right here on WestwoodOneSports.com.
The basketball doubleheader is one of two special broadcasts next week in honor of Veterans Day.
On Monday, Westwood One’s Monday Night Football broadcast of the Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles game will air its live pregame and halftime shows from aboard the brand new naval ship USS America, stationed in San Diego Harbor. Westwood One Sports’ pregame and halftime host Jim Gray will be joined onboard the ship by Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson. In addition, the broadcast will feature Monday Night Football weekly contributors Tom Brady and Larry Fitzgerald. Brady, Fitzgerald and Dickerson will field football questions from the sailors during the broadcast. Pregame coverage begins at 7:45 PM ET. Kevin Harlan and Boomer Esiason will call all the game action from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
USS America (LHA 6) is the first ship of the America-class amphibious assault ship class and the fourth ship to bear the name America. Commissioned on October 11, 2014, the ship acts as the flagship on an expeditionary strike group or amphibious ready group. America is homeported in San Diego, California.
