SSU Announces 2008-09 Men's
Basketball Schedule
A slate of 16 home
games including dates with
New Orleans and Bowling
Green highlights the 2008-09
Savannah State University
men's basketball schedule.
Coming off a 13-18
season, the Tigers are slated
to play a 29-game schedule
with 16 contests at Tiger
Arena. SSU will play teams
from 13 different Division I
conferences such as Big 12,
Conference USA, Mid
Eastern, Southern, Big East,
Atlantic 10, Mid-American,
Big 10, Atlantic Coast, Sim
Belt, Big South, Atlantic Sim
and Independents.
"We tried to schedule
more home games this year
and this year we were able to
get 16, which are the most
we have had since moving to
Division I", said head coach
Horace Broadnax. "If we can
take care of home, then we
will be ok."
Broadnax, who is
beginning his fourth season
as head coach, will have SSU
open the season with a four-
game home-stand beginning
on November 14 against in
state foe Brewton-Parker
followed by North Florida
(Nov. 16), Coastal Carolina
(Nov. 18) and New Orleans
(Nov. 22).
"Hopefully we can start
out of the gate very strong,"
says Broadnax of opening
the season with four starting
home games.
Following trips to
Clemson and Michigan, the
Tigers return home on
December 1 to face Bowling
Green.
SSU hosts a three-game
set against Kennesaw State
(Dec. 16), Texas
A&M-Corpus Christi (Dec.
18) and South Carolina State
(Dec. 20), after visits to St.
Louis and Georgetown. SSU
travels to Notre Dame on
Dec. 22 before closing out
the 2008 portion of the
schedule with a home game
against Bethune-Cookman
on Dec. 30.
Savannah State will
play at Georgetown,
Broadnax's alma mater, on
Dec. 8 but the Hoyas are
schedule to play at SSU next
season. "We have the oppor
tunity to have them come
here next year. We have a
young team but we expect to
have a large number of
returnees next season. If we
can get better, it can help the
program 2-3 years down the
road", says Broadnax.
The Tigers open the
new year with road games at
Alabama-Birmingham and
Oklahoma State but return to
Tiger Arena to face Talladega
on Jan. 12.
