SIUE Announces Men's, Women's Conference Basketball Schedules

SIUE opens its 20-game OVC season with a trip to Little Rock (Dec. 19) and Southeast Missouri (Dec. 21).

The home season gets underway with games against Western Illinois (Jan. 2) and Lindenwood (Jan. 4). The Cougars will play 10 home games at First Community Arena. All OVC dates are doubleheaders featuring both men's and women's contests on the same day.

Game times and ticket information will be coming soon.

For the second-straight year the league membership includes 11 teams (Eastern Illinois, Lindenwood, Little Rock, Morehead State, Southeast Missouri, SIUE, Southern Indiana, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, UT Martin and Western Illinois).

This year the Conference schedules switches to a true round-robin slate of 20 games (after being 18 games a season ago). The OVC has also had a 20-game league schedule from 2005-06 through 2007-08 and in 2020-21.

All Conference games and home non-conference contests can be seen on ESPN networks, with the majority of games broadcast on ESPN+. Additional linear exposures on ESPNU and ESPN2 will be announced at a later date.

The 2025 OVC Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament is slated for March 5-8 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. It marks the eighth year in a row the event will be held at the venue.
