GREENSBORO, N.C. - Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced today the composite schedule for the upcoming 2001-02 ACC women's basketball season. Headlining the ACC's 33-game TV schedule are 11 national telecasts including three games on ESPN, four on ESPN2, and four games on FOX Sports Net. In addition, 20 conference matchups will be featured this year on the league's regional sports network as well as two non-conference contests broadcast by FOX Sports Net South.
The league's 27-game TV package, with live telecasts for all games by FOX Sports Net South, Sunshine Network and ESPN2, is an increase of five games from a year ago.

The 23 regular-season telecasts will culminate with live coverage of the 25th annual ACC Women's Basketball Tournament, the oldest women's conference tournament in the country.
For the third consecutive year, the ACC Tournament will be held in the Greensboro Coliseum.
