Washington basketball releases its 2024-25 nonconference schedule

Washington basketball’s nonconference schedule is set.

There’s a lot to be excited about around coach Danny Sprinkle’s first season at the helm with the Washington Huskies. From the acquisition of players like Great Osobor to the move to the Big Ten, Sprinkle seems to have the basketball program moving in the right direction.

On Friday, the Huskies released their nonconference schedule for the 2024-25 season, which will give Sprinkle’s team an opportunity to make a name for itself early with eight home games, one true road game, and two neutral site games in Palm Springs at the Acrisure Invitational.

Following an exhibition game against Western Oregon, the Huskies will open the season against UC Davis on November 5, before traveling to Nevada on November 9 for their one road game against the Wolfpack.

Then, Sprinkle’s team will have to face two quality opponents in Nicholls State (Nov. 13) and UMass Lowell (Nov. 17) after both schools played in their respective conference championship games last season. Following a matchup with Alcorn State on November 22, the Huskies will travel to Palm Springs to face Colorado State on November 28 and will battle either Santa Clara or TCU the next day, depending on the outcome of both games.

Then, the Huskies have three straight games against in-state opponents, with Eastern Washington coming to town on December 10 and Washington State will arrive for the Apple Cup on December 18 before a December 23 matchup with Seattle University.

The Huskies will finish off nonconference play with a matchup against the New Jersey Institute of Technology on December 29 before Big Ten play begins.
