Duquesne and Robert Morris’ men’s basketball schedules for this upcoming season.

On Thursday, updates were released about the men’s basketball schedules for Duquesne and Robert Morris for the upcoming season.

The change for Duquesne was minor—just the location of one game. Rocco Miller reported that the Dukes’ game against UC Irvine on December 21 will now take place at home, as Duquesne paid UC Irvine to relocate the game to Pittsburgh.

The two teams also faced each other at UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse last season.

Here’s Duquesne’s schedule so far:

  • Nov. 4 — vs. Lipscomb
  • Nov. 8 — @ Princeton in Trenton
  • Nov. 15 — at DePaul
  • Nov. 24 — vs. South Dakota State in Cayman Islands Classic
  • Nov. 25 — vs. Boise State or Hampton in Cayman Islands Classic
  • Nov. 26 — vs. TBD in Cayman Islands Classic
  • Dec. 2 — vs. Cleary (NAIA)
  • Dec. 14 — vs. Towson (in Akron)

Dec. 21 — vs. UC Irvine

RMU head coach Andy Toole expressed his enthusiasm for the new schedule, stating, “I believe this is the first time in my coaching career that we have more non-conference home games than road games. We aim to give our student-athletes the opportunity to compete against teams that will prepare us for Horizon League play. This schedule will help us discover our identity as a team and foster the connections needed to pursue a Horizon League championship.”
