Men’s basketball schedule released

The Long Beach State men’s basketball team faced one of the toughest schedules in the nation last year, and this year won’t be any different.

Headlining the 49ers’ schedule is a home matchup with North Carolina on November 16. Also on the plate are away games against national powerhouses Ohio State and Syracuse.

“This schedule should give us a great opportunity to grow as a team and improve throughout the preseason in hopes of being ready to defend our Big West championship,” Monson said in a video posted to Long Beach State Athletics’ Facebook page.

Among the ‘Niners other opponents are Pac-12 schools Arizona, UCLA and USC, as well as West Coast schools Fresno State and Loyola Marymount. They will also face an undetermined ESPN BracketBuster team later in the season. North Alabama will visit the Pyramid during homecoming and a home game against BYU Hawaii rounds out the schedule.

In Big West play, the 49ers will face newcomer Hawaii in addition to the usual conference foes.
