Men’s basketball announced its full 2018-’19 nonconference home schedule, adding games against Bethune Cookman, Presbyterian, Charleston Southern and North Dakota.
After an Oct. 30 exhibition against Carroll University, a Division III school in nearby Waukesha, the Golden Eagles will open their season against the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. UMBC was the Cinderella team from last year’s NCAA Tournament after becoming the first No. 16 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed.
Challenging home opponents include Kansas State, Wisconsin and Buffalo. Kansas State and Buffalo are coming off NCAA Tournament appearances, and Wisconsin has four Sweet 16 appearances in the last five years.
