Oklahoma State released its complete non-conference men’s basketball schedule on Thursday afternoon.
The Cowboys officially open the Steve Lutz Era Monday, Nov. 4 against Green Bay. The 11-game slate also features a trip to the Charleston Classic, December dates with all three in-state rivals and a Big 12-Big East battle at Seton Hall.
The 250th men’s basketball meeting between OSU and Oklahoma is set for Saturday, Dec. 14 at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center.
The Cowboys travel to Tulsa on Tuesday, Dec. 3 and play host to Oral Roberts on Sunday, Dec. 22.
In addition to Green Bay and ORU, the Cowboys will also welcome St. Thomas (Nov. 10), Southern Illinois (Nov. 14) and Tarleton State (Dec. 18) to Gallagher-Iba Arena.
St. Thomas, an NCAA provisional member out of the Summit League, is one of three first-time Cowboys foes, along with Green Bay (coached by OSU’s all-time assist leader Doug Gottlieb) and Tarleton State (last year’s WAC runner-up, led by former Texas A&M and Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie).
As previously announced, OSU will play three games in four days at the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic (Nov. 21, 22 and 24 in Charleston, S.C.) beginning with a quarterfinal clash against Florida Atlantic. The Owls are coming off back-to-back NCAA tournament bids, including a 2023 Final Four appearance.
The Cowboys meet Drake or Miami on Nov. 22 and either Nevada, Seton Hall, Vanderbilt or VCU on the final day of the tournament.
Drake and Nevada also reached the Big Dance last year. Seton Hall won the NIT championship and VCU made the quarterfinals.
OSU and Seton Hall could potentially meet twice in a two-week span with the Pirates slated to host the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 8 as part of the Big 12-Big East Battle.
Start times and television assignments will be announced later this month along with OSU's 20-game Big 12 Conference schedule.
