Today marks exactly one month to the start of the college hoops season. With that, we've got an announcement: the CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network college basketball TV schedules. NICE. We're getting closer, people.

The network boasts this is its "most extensive schedule ever, featuring 252 total games, including five men’s conference championships." It's CBS' 34th season broadcasting college hoops. The first game is a nice one: Wisconsin vs. Marquette on Sat., Dec. 6 at 12:30 p.m. ET. CBS will have 39 college basketball games on its air prior to the NCAA Tournament. CBS Sports Network is slated for another 213 from November through March.

The big one is the first CBS Sports Classic, a doubleheader on Dec. 20 that pits UNC against Ohio State and UCLA against Kentucky. Those games will be played in Chicago at the United Center. Going to be a great pre-Christmas watch.

The first games of the season are also very special. On Friday, Nov. 14, CBS Sports Network will originate its coverage from Annapolis, Md., for the inaugural Veterans Classic. Held at the United States Naval Academy, the doubleheader will showcase Tennessee vs. VCU (6:30 p.m. ET) and Michigan State vs. Navy (approximately 9 p.m.).

The networks will also broadcast the Big Ten, Atlantic 10, Mountain West, Missouri Valley, Conference USA and Patriot League tournaments.
