The Summit League released its men’s basketball schedule on Wednesday and there are some quirks again like last year with nine teams, notably games on Wednesdays and Sundays, which NDSU has each of those for this coming year. For the Bison they’ll enjoy four of their first five conference games at Scheels Arena, that one road game being a trip to Tulsa to play Oral Roberts. The end of January though is a tough stretch with three straight roadies; at Fort Wayne, Western Illinois and IUPUI. The highlight games on the schedule with SDSU come on a Saturday (Jan. 16th) and a Thursday (Feb. 25th). NDSU has released most of it’s non-conference schedule thru its Twitter account, so by adding the 16 conference games, they’re at a total of 27, so likely NDSU will have two more still coming , likely against a local NAIA team. Here’s the full schedule as we know it.
