(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.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
