SAN ANTONIO - The University of the Incarnate Word men's basketball program announces its 2021-22 schedule. The Cardinals will host their season opener at home vs Texas State University on Nov. 9.
 
Following Texas State, UIW will visit Baylor and host Concordia before traveling to South Padre Island for the Battle on the Beach to play Texas Tech University. After Thanksgiving, the Cardinals host Southeast Missouri State, Montana State, and Portland in their UIW round-robin. Compelling matchups continue from that point.
 
"We are excited about the mighty tests our 2021-22 slate presents. At home, we open against the 2020-21 Sun Belt champions, the Texas State Bobcats, and host a formidable Thanksgiving weekend round-robin, and much more. Our schedule will take us to the capital of modern farmhouse design to play the recent national champion Baylor Bears and to the beautiful shores of South Padre to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Big Ten's fiercest home floor awaits us just before Christmas and the powerful Longhorns just after. Other challenges abound," Cunningham said.
 
The Southland Conference will be holding their first ever Pre-Conference Tournament in Katy, Texas before heading into conference play. The Cardinals will face off against each of the seven other SLC teams twice.
 
"The Southland Conference portion of our schedule should be a dandy. We hope our fans are as pumped up as we are to get after it," Cunningham Said.
