The Oakland University men’s basketball team has finalized its schedule for the upcoming season. The team will open the year with a home exhibition game against Hope College Nov. 10.

The Golden Grizzlies will be playing one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the entire country this year, with road games against several of the best teams in college basketball.

Oakland will face Syracuse, Kansas, Memphis, and Wisconsin — four teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year.

Some of the highlights of the schedule include in-state matchups against Eastern Michigan in the regular season opener Nov. 14, Rochester College Nov. 21 and Michigan State Dec. 10.

The Grizzlies will open Summit League play against IPFW Dec. 5.

Oakland will have a chance at revenge with two games — Jan. 21 and Feb. 20 — against North Dakota State, the team that eliminated OU in the Summit League tournament finals in March.

The team will look to build off their 23 win season of a year ago, the most since moving to Division I.
