"Roundball Rock" will make its return to television this week.

FOX Sports announced Friday that it will be using John Tesh's iconic theme song for select "College Hoops" games this season, beginning with Saturday's tripleheader, according to Charles Curtis of For The Win.

The song was used for "NBA on NBC" broadcasts from 1990-02.

It also inspired this memorable "Saturday Night Live" sketch from 2013:

In an interview with For The Win in October, Tesh said he was happy "Roundball Rock" has "become a part of culture," but wasn't "waiting around for someone to put it on television."
