(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. ISU then will play either UNLV or host Hawaii on December 23 before taking Christmas Eve off and playing their final contest on December 25. All games in Honolulu will be broadcast nationally on the ESPN Family of Networks.

Done like only you can @Frank_Cusumano. So perfect. Respectful. Hopeful. Personal. You've always been the best. @DanRolfes, you are in our prayers still today. Thanks for sharing.
As we said the 'closed' transfer portal keeps growing. Paperwork delays and/or no regard for deadlines. Over 2K in the portal now. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. Just saying before you think your program won't have more players leaving, give it a minute to see
BTW, despite the portal being 'closed' you'll still hear about players entering it because sometimes paperwork is slow AND all they have to do is sue to be able to enter later.
Admittedly I am no recruiting expert, but I'm seeing these reports about which coaches have been crushing the portal. We'll know who did what when we see them play, but no one has been more active than @TSUTigersMBB's @coachpenny1. 6 D1's among the 9 he's signed.
