The start to the Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship is a day away, but for those who can’t attend the tournament in Charleston, or are driving in the Lowcountry later this week, basketball hungry fans have several options of catching some or all the action from McAlister Field House and the North Charleston Coliseum.
?All of the women’s games and every men’s game with the exception of the championship will be video streamed on SoCon.TV, the league’s multimedia pay-per-view outlet. Also included in the video streaming of the games will be the game audio from the Southern Conference Sports Network.
