Kansas State releases 2024-2025 MBB non-conference schedule
Kansas State announced on Friday that they will start their 2024-2025 basketball season with an exhibition against Fort Hays State on Tuesday, October 29th.
The first official game of the season will take place one week later when the New Orleans Privateers come to Bramlage Coliseum. It will be the first of four straight home games to start the season for Kansas State before they take off for the US Virgin Islands, where they will play three games as part of the Paradise Jam.
Marquee opponents on the non-conference schedule include a home game with LSU on Thursday, November 14th. It will be the third meeting with LSU in three seasons under Jerome Tang, with this being the first in Manhattan. It will also include former Wildcat Cam Carter playing for LSU after transferring in the spring.
Other notables are the final Big 12/Big East Battle game, where K-State will travel to New York to face Rick Pitino’s St. John’s Red Storm. Plus the annual game in T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, where the Wildcats will face Missouri Valley foe, and 2024 NCAA Tournament participant Drake. And the final game of non-conference play will take place in Wichita at Koch Arena to conclude the four-game series with Wichita State, which Kansas State has won the first three meetings.
