SAN FRANCISCO – Pac-12 Networks today announced its women's basketball telecast schedule with 100 total games across all seven networks, ending the season with 10 Pac-12 Tournament contests from the KeyArena in Seattle. 

Each Pac-12 program will appear on the Networks at least 10 times: Arizona (12), Arizona State (15), California (16), Colorado (16), Oregon (13), Oregon State (16), Stanford (17), UCLA (15), USC (14), Utah (10), Washington (14) and Washington State (14).

The first day of action tips off on November 15 with the Kentucky Wildcats visiting the Arizona State Sun Devils at 2:30 p.m. PT. Visits from South Carolina (at UCLA, Nov. 22), San Jose State (at Oregon, Nov. 30), Oklahoma (at Washington, Dec. 6), Gonzaga (at Washington State, Dec. 8), Missouri (at Colorado, Dec. 12), Nebraska (at California, Dec. 12) and Tennessee (at Oregon State, Dec. 19) round out the nonconference telecast schedule on the Networks.

Giving fans all the exclusive coverage, Pac-12 Networks will televise at least five games in one day eight different times this season, with the first instance on January 2. Kicking off the day, the Washington Huskies make a trip to take on the Colorado Buffaloes at Noon PT. Stanford, the defending Pac-12 Tournament Champions, make its first appearance on the Networks later that day against Arizona at 2 p.m. PT. The Oregon Ducks visit Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Jordin Canada and the UCLA Bruins at 2 p.m. PT, followed by two games at 4 p.m. PT: Washington State at Utah, and Oregon State at USC. California at Arizona State closes out the jam-packed day of action at 6 p.m. PT.

Out of 100 total games, 92 of those are regular season Conference games, starting on Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. PT with UCLA at California. The Networks' 10-game coverage of the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament starts on Thursday, March 3 with four exciting games in one day.

Last year, Oregon State captured the program's first-ever Pac-12 regular-season crown, while Stanford claimed its 11th Conference tournament title. Five Pac-12 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the second-consecutive year, while two more participated in the WNIT. Washington State joined UCLA in the WNIT, with the Bruins claiming the WNIT title. In addition to Stanford and Oregon State participating in the Big Dance, ASU, Cal and Washington earned NCAA Tournament bids.

The 2015-16 women's basketball season will officially begin on Pac-12 Networks Wednesday, October 14 from Pac-12 Headquarters in San Francisco. The Networks will once again have full coverage of the event with the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Media Day Special airing live from Noon-2 p.m. PT. In addition to interviews with all 12 coaches, the special will also feature interviews with the Pac-12 student-athletes in attendance.

UCLA will be making a total of 16 television appearances (15 on the Pac-12 Networks and one on ESPN) during the 2015-16 regular season. That adds up to 67 television appearances since the 2012-13 season.

The UCLA women's basketball team enters the 2015-16 season with another top 10 recruiting class arriving in Westwood. The reigning WNIT champions have added Kennedy Burke (Northridge, Calif./Sierra Canyon HS) and Ashley Hearn (Rowlett, Texas/Sachse HS).

The Bruins will have two three-point shooting contest winners on the roster next year as Burke won the 2015 high school three-point shooting contest, a competition won by junior guard Kari Korver in 2012. UCLA's roster will also feature a school-record-tying four McDonald's All-Americans as incoming freshman forward Hearn joins Canada, sophomore forward Lajahna Drummer and senior guard Nirra Fields.

The Bruins return four starters from a year ago, including Fields (15.0 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.3 spg), an All-Pac-12 honoree. Korver (10.1 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.5 apg), a second team Pac-12 All-Academic selection, was one of only three Bruins to play in all 37 games and made the most starts at 36 games. Canada, the reigning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and WNIT MVP (11.8 ppg, 4.4 apg, 3.4 rpg, 2.0 spg) made 30 starts as a true freshman. Senior forward Kacy Swain (4.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg, .755 FT%) returns for her final year after making 25 starts a year ago.

After an exhibition game with Vanguard on Nov. 1, the Bruins will open the season with three straight postseason teams at home, starting with St. John's on Nov. 13.
