The nonconference opponents for coach Quannas White’s first UL men’s basketball team were released Friday.
The home portion is highlighted by Tulane’s first trip to the Cajundome since 2009 and the first meeting overall between the two state programs since 2018.
The first home game in the White era will be against Southeastern’s Lions on Nov. 7, four days before the Green Wave comes to town.
The season opens on the road Nov. 3 at Ball State, and then a two-game homestand will be followed by a four-game road trip. UL stays close to home, playing at McNeese on Nov. 14 in Lake Charles, before heading to California for three games.
UL will play at Stanford on Nov. 18, Santa Clara on Nov. 21 and UC Davis on Nov. 24.
The other home games include Jackson State on Nov. 28, UNC Wilmington on Dec. 6 and Norfolk State on Dec. 28.
Wilmington has won 99 games over the past four seasons, including winning the CAA league title last season to earn an NCAA Tournament berth.
Norfolk State has won 111 games over the past five seasons and made three NCAA Tournament appearances.
The final nonconference road game is at Louisiana Tech on Dec. 13.
