Former New Orleans Saints running back and current WWL Radio's Saints color analyst Deuce McAllister will be on the broadcast team for the Grambling State University and Jackson State University women's and men's basketball contests on Monday, Feb. 22.

New Orleans' WBOK/106.1 FM Host Ro Brown will call the play-by-play action, with Deuce being the color analyst. The two SWAC conference games will start at 3:00 PM ET (Women’s game) and 5:30 PM (Men's game) ET.

NBA TV and SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference) have formed a partnership to televise the HBCU basketball games in honor of Black History Month. The live broadcast back-to-back contests will be the first of its kind by televising the NCAA Division I Women’s and Men’s Basketball Games between the Historically Black Universities.

Hall of Fame NFL player Deion Sanders will take over the head coaching duties for the Jackson State University football team on Sunday, Feb. 21, as they battle Edward Waters College.
