(Terre Haute, IN) – Upon today’s earlier release of the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball schedule, the Indiana State Basketball program has also announced its slate for the 2018-19 campaign. Additional non-conference home games will be announced later in September.
In non-conference play, the Sycamores open the season with a road game at Ball State on Tuesday, November 6. One of the program’s oldest rivals, the Cardinals and Sycamores will battle on the hardwood for the 133rd time when they meet up in Muncie.
ISU then makes the journey to Green Bay for their second game of the year on Friday, November 9. The Sycamores play in Hulman Center on Saturday, November 24 when they host Western Kentucky. It will mark the fourth consecutive year that the Sycamores will face off against the Hilltoppers.
Indiana State travels to San Jose State for the Missouri Valley / Mountain West Conference Challenge before returning home to face off against Wright State on Saturday, December 1. ISU remains at home for a return game against North Texas. The Sycamores and Mean Green battled all the way to overtime last season in Denton, Texas.
ISU travels to Texas Christian on Sunday, December 16 for a non-bracketed game as part of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamondhead Classic. The Sycamores then travel to Hawaii where they open play in Honolulu against Colorado on December 22 in a game that will be televised on ESPNU.
