Non-Conference slate released for A-State men's basketball
Nine non-conference home games headline the Arkansas State men’s basketball non-conference schedule under sixth-year head coach Mike Balado.

Following a trip to LSU on Saturday, Nov. 12, the Red Wolves return home to face Lyon College on Monday, Nov. 14. A road trip to UC Davis awaits on Friday, Nov. 18 before three-straight home games against UT Martin (Nov. 22), Prairie View A&M (Nov. 25) and Bethel (Nov. 27) complete the November slate.
The Red Wolves close out a four-game home stand with a Thursday, Dec. 1 matchup against Mississippi Valley State. Back-to-back road games at Central Arkansas (Dec. 6) and Air Force (Dec. 9) close out the road portion of the non-conference slate. A-State plays the final three non-conference games on the home floor with contests against Southeast Missouri (Dec. 14), Alabama State (Dec. 19) and Little Rock (Dec. 22).
