GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's basketball team and fifth-year Head Coach Mike Jones completes the 2025-26 schedule with the non-conference slate.
 
This year's non-conference slate includes 13 games, with three contests in Jacksonville, Florida, during the week of Thanksgiving. Two of the three will be part of the Jacksonville Classic, while the third will be a neutral site game.
The Southern Conference (SoCon) and Athletic Sun Conference (ASUN) continue their two-year scheduling alliance for men's basketball and the Spartans will host Austin Peay (Nov. 15) and travel to face Queens (Nov. 20).
 
"I am excited to finally be able to release our schedule," stated Coach Jones. "Scheduling has become more and more challenging, especially this year, but we feel that we have put together a schedule that will optimally test our team. We will learn a lot about ourselves through the non-conference teams we will face. Having a brand new team, it will be critical to see where our strengths and weaknesses are before we head into conference play and we believe this schedule will do just that. Having my friend, Coach Wade at NC State, has helped secure a game our fan base wants to see, for which I'm grateful. Similarly, playing Elon and NC A&T is great for the local community and we are also looking forward to playing other schools around North Carolina. Overall, we look forward to some great competition in the First Horizon Coliseum, on campus in Fleming Gymnasium and around the country!"
