CEDAR CITY, UTAH—The Southern Utah University Men’s Basketball Team has announced its non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season.
Head Coach Rob Jeter said
“We have a good mix of competition in our non-conference schedule. It will be very challenging and give us a good idea of what league play will look like. It will be an exciting year, and the team is ready to go out and compete.”
All games in the America First Event Center will be at 6:30 p.m. except for NAU.
The team will open the year with five straight home games, including an exhibition against Westminster on Oct 28 to start the year.
The first weekend of the year will feature games against Western New Mexico (Nov 4) and Florida International (Nov 9), followed by Bethesda (Nov 12) and Nebraska Omaha (Nov 16) on the second weekend.
The first time the T-Birds are on the road will be at Atlantic-10 Conference opponent Loyola-Chicago (Nov 19).
Nov 22-23 is a multi-team event at the University of San Diego, where the Thunderbirds will play USD and Idaho.
On the same road trip, the Thunderbirds will head to the Historic Pauley Pavilion on Nov 26 to take on No. 24 ranked UCLA.
SUU will return to the America First Event Center for a two-game stretch against Cal State Bakersfield (Nov 30) and Park University (Dec 3).
On Dec 7, the Thunderbirds will take on the University of Arizona, a recent Big 12 Conference addition that won the Pac-12 in 2023 and is ranked No. 9 in the Nation on ESPN’s Way Too Early Top 25.
The final road trip of the non-conference schedule is to New Mexico State (Dec 16) and former WAC opponent UTRGV (Dec 18).
The team will be home for the final non-conference game against Northern Arizona on Dec 21.
