UC was scheduled to play host to North Carolina A&T on the same day and tip time. However, due to new COVID-19 protocols in the state of North Carolina and at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference school, the Aggies will not be making the trip to Cincinnati.
The matchup between the Bearcats and Norse will be the 20th in series history, with NKU owning a slight 10-9 advantage. The two teams have met four times this decade with the home team winning each contest. UC won the last meeting in the series, claiming a 71-68 victory over NKU on Nov. 18, 2015 at Fifth Third Arena.
UC’s five-game non-league slate also includes home games against fifth-ranked Louisville (Nov. 28 at 2 p.m.) and against Xavier (Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.) in the annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout. The other two games take place on the road, at Florida (Dec. 5 at 1 p.m.) and at Central Michigan (Dec. 12 at noon).
The American Athletic Conference portion of UC’s schedule was released on Nov. 20. Tip times and broadcast information for league games will be released at a later date.
