LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV's March 30 baseball game at Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. has been selected to be televised by the Big Ten Network, the Big Ten Conference and BTN announced on Wednesday. First pitch for the game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. CT/11:00 a.m. PT.
The Mountain West leading Rebels (14-6/7-2 Mountain West) will travel to face the Cornhuskers (12-7/0-0 Big Ten) for the first time in school history. The two teams have met a total of 22 times, but have never played in Lincoln. It will be the first television appearance this season for both schools.
The last time the Rebels played a regular season game on national TV was when UNLV hosted New Mexico on May 11, 2012 which was televised by The MTN.
UNLV will become the first Mountain West school to play on national television this season and is the first since May 11, 2013 when San Diego State hosted Air Force on CBS Sports Network.
Cox subscribers in Las Vegas can watch the BTN on channels 312 (SD) and 1312 (HD) while DirecTV subscribers can watch on channel 610 (HD/SD) and Dish Network subscribers can watch on channel 405 (HD/SD). The game will also be available on mobile devices through BTN2Go.
