The annual Big South Conference Basketball Media Day is set to take place on Monday, Oct. 27 at the Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites Uptown Charlotte hotel in Charlotte, N.C. The event tips off the 2014-15 Big South men's and women's basketball seasons and features a breakfast plus interview sessions with local, regional and national media outlets beginning at 9:00am.
As part of the event, the conference will announce its annual preseason poll and preseason all-conference teams in a video presentation. In addition, the head coaches of the preseason favorites as well as the preseason players of the year will speak at the breakfast. The preseason poll, preseason all-conference teams and preview video will be available online at www.BigSouthSports.com starting at 10:30am Monday morning.
Again this year, the Big South Network presented by State Farm will broadcast interviews with each team's head coach as part of a live show hosted by Mike Hogewood starting at approximately 10:30am (see below for full schedule). In addition, ESPN3 will carry the event for the second consecutive year.
