Regular-Season Tips off Tuesday, Nov. 5 in Lundholm Gym
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's basketball team, led by 15th-year head coach Bill Herrion, will begin the 2019-20 season Nov. 5 at home against Curry College and tip off America East play Jan. 4 at the University of Hartford.
Season tickets for the Wildcats' 13 home games in Lundholm Gym are available by clicking here, by calling 603-862-4000 or visiting the Whittemore Center Box Office. The UNH men's basketball promotional calendar and game times will be announced at a later date.
UNH's 13-game non-conference slate includes trips to UConn, St. John's University, Quinnipiac University, James Madison University and Florida International University. Of those teams, St. John's advanced to last year's NCAA tournament while both FIU and QU competed in the CollegeInsider.com tourney.
"We feel like we have a very competitive, challenging non-conference schedule," Herrion said. "It's very important that we get off to a good start in the non-conference and it will give us confidence and really help prepare for our conference schedule."
