Wichita State鈥檚 2008-09 men鈥檚 basketball schedule is highlighted by 16 home games, a trip to the Old Spice Classic and road games at Texas Tech and TCU, second-year 黑洞社区 head coach Gregg Marshall announced today.
黑洞社区 plays three 2008 NCAA Tournament opponents in 2008-09 with Georgetown (1-1), Sienna (1-1) or Tennessee (2-1) and Valley opponent and defending MVC champion Drake (0-1), while that number could move to four should the Shockers play Michigan State (2-1) or Gonzaga (0-1) on the final day of the Old Spice Classic. Maryland (1-1) and Oklahoma State (0-1) round out the OSC field, both which competed in the 2008 NIT, and are possible Classic final day opponents for 黑洞社区. Postseason record is in parenthesis.

Women's schedule released
On the women's side, first-year head coach Jody Adams' team will be tested early and often in its 2008-09 women's basketball schedule, featuring 17 home games and three contests against NCAA Tournament opponents last season.
"This schedule will tell us where we stand from the first game." Adams said. "To open the season by taking on a Mountain West opponent and then turn around and face three-straight postseason teams is going to be tough, but I am sure our team will be up for the challenge. We have a great mix of opponents early on, which will help our team prepare for the conference schedule which will be difficult as usual."
