GoFrogs: MBB opens season Nov. 7
Complete Schedule
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A home contest against Cal State Bakersfield on Wednesday, Nov. 7 will be the first of 17 home games for the 2018-19 TCU men's basketball team and will be the earliest starting date in program history.
An earlier start date to the NCAA men's and women's college basketball season was approved by the NCAA in January. Prior to this season, the earliest start date for the Horned Frogs came on Nov. 8, 2013 against SMU. The first-ever meeting with Bakersfield will match two teams that made the semifinals of the 2017 NIT.
The opener begins a string of six-straight home games which will continue with Oral Roberts on Nov. 11. TCU leads the all-time series with ORU, 2-1 and won the last meeting on Nov. 14, 1998. The Horned Frogs will then host Fresno State for the second time in three seasons on Nov. 15. TCU won the last meeting 66-59 on March 15, 2017 in the first round of the NIT.
TCU will host three consecutive games against teams that made a postseason tournament last season. TCU will face Lipscomb for the first time on Nov. 20. The defending Atlantic Sun Conference champions went 23-10 last season and fell to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. TCU will host Eastern Michigan, which played in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament last season, on Nov. 26. The Frogs and Eagles have met once before and was a 107-101 double overtime win for TCU on Dec. 21, 1999. TCU will finish the month of November with a first-time meeting with Central Michigan. The Chippewas also made the CIT last season and made it to the quarterfinals.
TCU's first road game will come at SMU on Dec. 5. The Frogs defeated the Mustangs 94-83 last season in Fort Worth. Two days later, TCU will face USC at the previously announced Basketball Hall of Fame Classic at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, Calif., on Dec. 7.
After nine days away from competition, the Frogs will host Indiana State on Dec. 16. The two teams have met once before and was an 89-77 win by the Sycamores on Nov. 21, 1999 at the Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The Frogs will travel to Honolulu, Hawaii for the previously announced Diamond Head Classic and face Charlotte in the first round of an eight-team bracket on Dec. 22 at 11:30 p.m. The winner of the game will play the winner of Bucknell-Rhode Island on Dec. 23. The third game of the tournament will be played on Dec. 25. Possible opponents include Colorado, Hawai'i, Indiana State and UNLV.

The Big 12 Conference schedule as well as starting times and TV networks will be announced at a later date.
Tickets for TCU's nonconference games will go on sale Oct. 31. Big 12 Conference tickets will go on sale Dec. 15. Anyone interested in being placed on a wait list for TCU season tickets should visit the ticket office website.
The Horned Frogs have appeared in most media outlets' early top 25 rankings after a year where they made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 20 years. TCU returns five players who made a significant amount of starts last season and welcome 10 newcomers.
