University of Evansville Men's Basketball Announce 2015 Non-Conference Schedule

The College Basketball season will be here before you know it, and the University of Evansville Men's Basketball Team will find themselves with several tough match-ups in non-conference play including five opponents who made their way to last year's NCAA Tournament.

The season opens with an exhibition game against Wabash College on Saturday, November 7th at the Ford Center. It marks the Aces only exhibition game before opening regular season play.

They'll kick off the regular season at home the following Saturday (November 15th) when they host Southeast Missouri State. That game will be the first of three straight home games that also includes a meeting with Marion University on November 17th, and Belmont on November 21st.

After that the team heads west to participate in the Wooden Legacy Tournament beginning Thanksgiving Day where they'll face Providence, a team that has made the NCAA tournament in two of the past three seasons. Other teams in the tournament that could be possible opponents for the Purple Aces include Arizona, Michigan State, Boise State, Boston College, Santa Clara and U-C Irvine.

Trips to Murray State and Arkansas follow the Wooden Tournament before the team returns home to host Mississippi Valley State and Norfolk State. A trip back out west to face off against Fresno State and a home against Alabama A&M rounds out the non-conference schedule just before Christmas.
