Coastal Carolina releases men's basketball schedule

 

Coastal Carolina released its men’s basketball schedule Tuesday, revealing a slate that features 16 home games and marquee contests against Georgetown and Louisiana State.

 

The season opens Nov. 12 at Kimbel Arena against Piedmont College, and Big South play begins Dec. 4 against Charleston Southern.

 

Highlighting the non-conference schedule is an appearance in the Charleston Classic, in which the Chanticleers will play three games between Nov. 18-21 at Carolina First Arena in Charleston, and a trip to Louisiana State on Dec. 13.

 

Coastal Carolina is coming off a season in which it finished 28-7 overall and 15-3 in the Big South -- both program records -- while reaching the championship game of the conference tournament and earning a berth in the NIT for its first postseason appearance since 1993.
