The 2026 men’s basketball season kicks off with a packed non-conference slate designed to test the team’s depth and chemistry. Starting at home against Pfeiffer, they’ll hit the road for Saint Joseph’s, then host North Carolina Central for homecoming before facing Saint Mary’s. The schedule intensifies with back-to-back road games against Old Dominion and ETSU, followed by matchups at George Mason and UMES. December brings a grueling stretch of away games at James Madison, Delaware State, Elon, and Georgia Tech, sandwiched between home contests against Campbell and Morgan State, culminating in a final home game against Lynchburg. With heavy travel and a mix of familiar foes and new challenges, early results will set the tone for conference play — fans have plenty of chances to witness this squad’s growth on both sides of the court.
