UC San Diego and 97.3 The Fan (KWFN-FM) have teamed up to air more than a dozen Triton men's and women's basketball games for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The multi-year agreement designates 97.3 The Fan as the exclusive over-the-air home of UC San Diego basketball, with all broadcasts streaming via the free Audacy app. Play-by-play veterans Steve Quis and Ted Mendenhall will team up to call the action, with recent UC San Diego grad Madison Baxter providing analysis on the women's coverage.
“We are thrilled to partner with Audacy and 97.3 The Fan to air Tritons basketball games throughout San Diego for the remainder of this season and beyond,” said UC San Diego Athletics Director Andy Fee. “Our teams play a fun brand of basketball the entire San Diego community can get behind, and we can’t wait to showcase Tritons basketball on San Diego’s number one sports station starting Thursday night!”
