The Northeast Conference (NEC) released the men's and women's basketball conference schedules today. The CSU women will bookend conference play with home conference games, opening the slate on January 2, 2025 against Wagner College and wrapping up regular season play at home against Saint Francis. The Cougars men's team will make their home NEC debut on January 12 against Stonehill.
Both the men and women will play eight conference home games and eight conference away games with the schedules staggered so when the men are at home, the women will play the same opponent on the road and vice versa.
Season ticket packages for all Cougars home games are currently available for purchase while single-game tickets will go on sale later this fall. Ticket options are available
