The American Athletic Conference released home and road pairings for its 2019-20 men's basketball schedule Wednesday morning.
Under the league's 18-game, unbalanced format, WSU plays home-and-home series with seven conference rivals and faces four others once-each.
The Shockers will not visit ECU or Tulane next winter. Likewise, UConn and SMU are not slated to appear at Charles Koch Arena.
Home-and-home opponents include: UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, USF, Temple and Tulsa.
Pairings are annually determined by television inventory and contractual requirements, competitive issues/NET/NCAA bid implications and geographic rivalries. A great effort is made to achieve balance with the strength of home and away opponents for each team, as well as overall strength of schedule with peer teams.
