DAVIDSON, N.C. – A date with the defending National Champions, as many as 10 NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago, 18 conference games, and trip to Honolulu, Hawai'i for the Diamond Head Classic, highlight the 2017-18 Davidson men's basketball schedule, as released Wednesday afternoon.
"The makeup of this year's schedule will present significant challenges at home, on the road, and at neutral sites," said head coach Bob McKillop. "A mix of Top-20 programs, long-time rivalries, and new faces will provide exciting and highly competitive basketball for our program and for our fans."
Following a preseason tune-up with Hampden Sydney (Nov. 3), the Wildcats will open the season Nov. 10 against Charleston Southern inside Belk Arena.
On Nov. 14, Davidson will host 2017 CAA Champion UNC Wilmington, before embarking on a three-game road trip, beginning with Nevada (Nov. 21), another postseason participant from last season.
After the Thanksgiving holiday, the Wildcats will travel to Appalachian State (Nov. 25) and cross-county rival Charlotte (Nov. 28) before hosting the North Carolina Tar Heels at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on Dec. 1.
Prior to an 11-day exam break, Davidson returns home to face Southern Conference foe VMI on Dec. 5.
For the third time in the last five years, the Wildcats will square off with Virginia, when they travel to Charlottesville for a Dec. 16 contest at John Paul Jones Arena.
Davidson will conclude the non-conference portion of its campaign with a trip to The Aloha State for the 2017 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Dec. 22, 23 and 25. The Wildcats will play New Mexico State in the opening round at 6 p.m. (HT) / 11 p.m. (ET) on ESPNU.
Akron, Miami, Middle Tennessee, Princeton and USC will also take part in the annual event hosted by Hawai'i.
