ONEONTA, N.Y. - The Oneonta men's basketball team, in conjunction with head coach Cameron Conover, is pleased to announce its 2025-26 schedule.
"It is our objective each season to prepare our team for the rigors of conference play in the SUNYAC and a postseason berth," Conover stated. "This year is no different. We have positioned our program to compete against some of the strongest non-conference opponents in our region. Our guys enjoy competition, and we have made it a priority to play as challenging a schedule as possible. We were invited to play in a Division I tournament over Thanksgiving weekend and jumped at the opportunity. Not only will our guys get the opportunity to play two division one games, but we will have the opportunity to travel to Canada and experience some great culture in Montreal."
Conover's squad opens the season at home against cross-town rival Hartwick on Wednesday, November 12, in the annual Battle of the Hills. Three days later, the team hosts the 4th Annual Michael A. Freilich Memorial Tip-Off Tournament on November 15 and 16, featuring RPI, Wheaton College, and Penn State Altoona. On November 19, Oneonta travels to Massachusetts to play Williams College, the first of three NESCAC opponents on the schedule. On Saturday, November 22, Oneonta hits the road again when they travel to King's College (PA).
From November 28 to 30, the Red Dragons will travel to Montreal, Canada, where they will play two games against Division I opponents, UAlbany and Colgate.
The Red Dragons begin conference play on Friday, December 5, on the road against New Paltz, before a break for final exams.
