Southeast basketball teams ready for season

The fall sports season flew by, and soon Southeast Missouri State University winter sports teams will kick off their seasons.

Both the men's and women's basketball teams already have played exhibition games.

The women's squad opens its season in Cape Girardeau Friday at the Show Me Center. The Redhawks will play Alabama A&M beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The Redhawks men's team opens the regular season on the West Coast Friday with contests against Loyola Marymount Friday and San Diego on Saturday that will be played in Los Angeles. You can listen to the games on SEMO ESPN Radio, and watch for recaps in the Southeast Missourian and online at semissourian.com.

The first home game will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Southeast will play Hannibal-LaGrange at the Show Me Center.

We wish both Southeast teams well as they begin the 2014-2015 season. We also hope you'll follow the other university sports teams in the coming weeks.
