The most anticipated Iowa State men’s basketball season in nearly a decade now has its official non-conference schedule.
The Cyclones, expected to be a preseason top-10 team after last year’s Sweet 16 run, will host seven non-conference games, play in one road game and participate in one of the country’s most prestigious non-conference tournaments as part of the schedule released by the school Wednesday.
The 2024-25 campaign will open Nov. 4 at Hilton Coliseum against Mississippi Valley State. The highest-profile home non-conference game comes Dec. 4 when Marquette comes to Ames as part of the Big 12/Big East battle.
Iowa State’s lone road game before Big 12 play comes Dec. 12 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena against Iowa in the annual Cy-Hawk game.
The Cyclones also will play three games in Hawaii over Thanksgiving week in the Maui Invitational. Auburn, Colorado, Dayton, Memphis, Michigan State, North Carolina and two-time defending national champion UConn make up the rest of the field.
Tip times and television information will be released at a later date.
