GoFrogs: MBB announces non-conference schedule
FORT WORTH, Texas – A Nov. 7 game with Southwestern University will open the 2019-20 TCU men's basketball season.
The game against Southwestern will be the first of 18 games at Schollmaier Arena. TCU will host the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns on Nov. 12. It will be the first meeting between the two schools since Dec. 9, 1969. The Frogs will host former Mountain West Conference foe Air Force on Nov. 18. The two programs played twice every season from the 2005-06 season until the 2011-12 season and the all-time series is tied 8-8.
TCU will play 2019 NCAA Tournament participant UC Irvine on Nov. 21. The Anteaters won their first-ever NCAA Tournament game last season, defeating fourth-seed Kansas State, 70-64. The Big West Conference champions finished 31-6 overall, a school-record for wins in a season.
The Frogs will play in the MGM Resorts Main Event, Nov. 24-26 in Las Vegas, Nev. The first game will be against Clemson, which went 20-14 last season and made it to the second round of the NIT. This summer, the Tigers represented the United States in the World University Games and went 6-0 to win the gold medal. TCU will play either Colorado or Wyoming on Nov. 26 for the final game in Las Vegas.
TCU will begin December with a home game against Illinois State on the third before USC comes to town on the sixth. The previously announced game between TCU and USC will be the first college basketball game played at Fort Worth's new Dickies Arena. The neutral site game will take place one year after TCU defeated USC 96-91 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
TCU will play Winthrop for the first time in program history on Dec. 11 at Schollmaier Arena before hosting Lamar on Dec. 14.
It will be the first year of the previously announced Big 12/BIG EAST Scheduling Alliance as TCU will host Xavier on Dec. 22. It will be the first meeting between the two programs since Dec. 30, 1980. Last season, the Musketeers went 19-16 and lost in the second round of the NIT.
