THE PATRIOT BROADCASTING NETWORK
The Patriot Broadcasting Network enters its 13th season of covering DBU Basketball and will be featured this year on FloCollege. The broadcast team of Reagan Ratcliff and Patriot legend Jordan McGowen bring all the live play-by-play action to Patriots’ Basketball fans with a live video broadcast of all 15 DBU home games.
DBU Basketball coverage begins 15 minutes before each
game with the Patriots’ Countdown to Tip-Off, hosted by Ryan Wilson. Sideline reporter Alexis DeLaGarza also joins this year’s broadcast crew, providing features on Patriot players throughout the season and spotlighting the top games across the Lone Star Conference.
Ratcliff began his sports broadcasting career in college at Baylor University, where he served as the Sports Director for KWBU in 1997. Following graduation, Ratcliff was named the Director
of Broadcasting for the Oakland Athletics Short-Season A Team in Medford, Oregon. In 2000, Ratcliff returned to Waco, Texas, where he called Baylor Baseball for the next two seasons. Ratcliff would eventually transition from broadcasting to coaching at the high school ranks for eight years before returning to the broadcast booth with DBU in 2012.
McGowen enters his second season as the color analyst for DBU Basketball. A four-year letterman from 2009-2012, McGowen was a key part of DBU’s first team to reach the NCAA Tournament as a freshman in 2009. That year, Jordan was named
the Heartland Conference Freshman of the Year and went on to become a three-time All-Heartland Conference selection. McGowen ranks fourth all-time in scoring at DBU with 1,808 points, and his 824 rebounds are the most in school history.
This year, the Patriot Broadcasting Network will continue its work with the Horner Communications Department and its video production of DBU Basketball. Along with their efforts, Dallas Baptist University provides fans with one of the nation’s finest video productions of college basketball.
