By Northern Star Staff

After unveiling its court a few weeks ago the men’s basketball team now knows who it will play on it.

The Huskies’ 2014-15 schedule, revealed Wednesday, comprises 29 games, including 16 homes. They also take on Big Ten, ACC and Big East teams during the non-conference portion of their schedule.

The Huskies, who went 15-17 and 8-11 in conference play last season, open the regular season with back-to-back homes games. They take on Aurora Nov. 15 and Idaho Nov. 20 at the Convocation Center.

The Huskies open conference play when they travel to Athens, Ohio, to take on the Ohio Bobcats Jan. 7. The MAC Tournament is slated to begin March 9, with the first round taking place on campus sites prior to moving to Cleveland for the remainder of the tournament.

The schedule doesn’t feature any homestands or road trips longer than two games, with the Huskies playing five sets of back-to-back home games and four sets of back-to-back road games.
