POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.-The Marist men's basketball program will be featured as part of ESPNU's "Pride of the Program" segments, with the Red Foxes' vignette scheduled to air Saturday during the Murray State-Southeast Missouri State game at 4 p.m. EST on ESPN2.

All 10 MAAC men's basketball programs have been or will be featured on ESPNU's season-long "Pride of the Program" vignettes series, which will air on every ESPN, ESPN2 and ESNPU men's basketball telecast this season.

The segments began November 14 and celebrate a historic moment from each of the 326 Division I programs in alphabetical order. The moments, 30-seconds in length, look back at a significant event in each school's history and are narrated by ESPNU's Mike Hall.

Marist will also host its alumni game at 3 p.m. Saturday (featuring former NBA All-Star Rik Smits), just before the Red Foxes take on arch rival Siena at 7:30 p.m.
