November 9, 2020 by Owen Simpson

The 2020-21 men’s basketball season features several familiar opponents over the past three seasons, including Texas Tech.

The Wildcats open the season on the road in the Gulf Coast Showcase at Fort Myers, Florida. They’ll be guaranteed three games from Nov. 25-27.

Following Thanksgiving break, ACU’s home-opener is slated for Dec. 1 against Howard Payne. Later on Dec. 9, the Wildcats will return to Lubbock for the third time in four seasons against Texas Tech. ACU lost its last game against the Red Raiders 82-48 in 2018.

The Wildcats conclude their 2020 road schedule against Arkansas on Dec. 22.

Conference play begins in 2021 against Lamar in Teague Center Jan. 2. The Wildcats have won the last seven-consecutive matchups against the Cardinals dating back to Jan. 30, 2016.
