UC San Diego and 97.3 The Fan have teamed up to air more than a dozen Triton men’s and women’s basketball games for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The multi-year agreement designates 97.3 The Fan as the exclusive over-the-air home of UC San Diego basketball, with all broadcasts streaming via the free Audacy app. Play-by-play veterans Steve Quis and Ted Mendenhall will team up to call the action, with recent UC San Diego grad Madison Baxter providing analysis on the women’s coverage.
“We are thrilled to partner with Audacy and 97.3 The Fan to air Tritons basketball games throughout San Diego for the remainder of this season and beyond,” said UC San Diego Athletics Director Andy Fee. “Our teams play a fun brand of basketball the entire San Diego community can get behind, and we can’t wait to showcase Tritons basketball on San Diego’s number one sports station starting Thursday night!”
The 2025-26 schedule includes coverage of all remaining Big West men’s road games as well as a pair of UC San Diego regular season women’s games. 97.3 The Fan is also the home of Tritons postseason basketball, providing live coverage of both teams’ title defense from The Big West Championship in Henderson, Nev. in March.
Last season, UC San Diego became the first program in NCAA Division I history to win conference titles and compete in the NCAA Tournament in the program's first season with postseason eligibility. This year, both teams are off to a 1-0 start in The Big West, with conference action resuming in January.
