HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Men's Basketball team unveiled it's 2025-26 non-conference schedule on Wednesday.
The non-conference schedule is highlighted by nine home games and a contest at ACC-foe Virginia (Nov. 15).
"We are excited about our challenging non-conference schedule. It will help prepare us for the battles of the Sun Belt Conference, which is one of the premiere mid-major leagues in college basketball," Marshall Men's Basketball Head Coach Cornelius 'Corny' Jackson said.
After Hoops in Huntington on October 16, The Herd hosts Alice Lloyd (Oct. 21) for its Fans First game followed by an exhibition against Davis & Elkins (Oct. 28).
The team's home opener is set for November 12 against Elon. MU then has a trio of home games after its contest at UVA with Arkansas Pine Bluff (Nov. 20), Mercyhurst (Nov. 23) and Lipscomb (Nov. 26) in the Cam Henderson Center.
Marshall's final three non-conference home games are set to be played against WKU (Dec. 10), Wright State (Dec. 13) and West Virginia Tech (Dec. 23) before welcoming Georgia State (Dec. 31) for its first of nine Sun Belt Conference home games, which the SBC released in early August.
The Herd's final non-conference home game is set for February 7 for the MAC/SBC Challenge against an opponent that is to be determined.
