The Lee University men's and women's basketball games against rival Union University Jan. 26 will air on ESPN3, the company's online streaming service.

The game is a result of Lee winning the 2016 NCAA Division II Award of Excellence.

The games will be free to the public, and 1,000 t-shirts and towels will be given away during the games, according to a release from the university. The university is making the game a "white-out" night where attendees are asked to wear white.

The women's team is 11-4 overall and 6-3 in the Gulf South Conference. Union is 9-8 overall and 4-7 in conference play. The two teams play at 6 p.m. in Walker Arena on the Lee University campus.

The men's game will begin at 8 p.m. and features the 9-7 Flames and the 9-8 Bulldogs.

The teams met Jan. 14. The Flames and Lady Flames won both games.
