SEASON TICKET INFORMATION | FULL 2024-25 UTSA SCHEDULE
SAN ANTONIO – Officials from the American Athletic Conference unveiled the conference-wide slate on Thursday, revealing the full 2024-25 UTSA men’s basketball conference schedule for the inaugural season under head coach Austin Claunch. With an almost completely newcomer-filled roster, the Roadrunners will kick off the AAC’s 18-game schedule on Saturday, Jan. 4, with a visit to Tulane at Devlin Fieldhouse in New Orleans. The AAC schedule will bring nine additional games to the UTSA home slate at the Convocation Center, raising the total to 14 contests in San Antonio for the season.
While the 2024-25 season officially begins November 4 in non-conference play with Trinity coming to the Convocation Center, the home AAC debut will not be until Tuesday, Jan. 7, when Tulsa returns to the Convo for the second consecutive UTSA matchup and just the second time ever. Led by a familiar UTSA foe in third-year head coach Eric Konkol, the Golden Hurricane finished 16-15 last season. Marking the first of only three back-to-back home dates for the Roadrunners, UTSA will host Wichita State on Saturday, Jan. 11, welcoming a Shockers team that went 15-19 but made a run to the AAC quarterfinal under Paul Mills – now entering his second season in Wichita.
Back to the road on Tuesday, Jan. 14, UTSA will head east on I-10 for the perennial showdown with Rice – the series entering its 12th consecutive year and 25th meeting overall. Last year in Houston, the Roadrunners were forced to play at University of St. Thomas’ Jerabeck Center due to a weather-related facility issue and came away victorious in overtime – returning to action in Tudor Fieldhouse for this meeting with the Owls. Rice has a new, but familiar staff, as former SMU coach Rob Lanier takes over the Owls after an 11-21 campaign a year ago.
North Texas will travel to the Convocation Center on Saturday, Jan. 18, for the first time since 2022. The Mean Green went 19-15 in the first season under Ross Hodge, going on to down LSU in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).
The Roadrunners then move on to Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama to face UAB on Tuesday, Jan. 21, facing a Blazers squad that finished 23-12 after winning the AAC Tournament title before falling to fifth-seeded San Diego State by just four points in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. In their lone meeting last season, the Blazers escaped the Convo with a 78-76 win by the grace of a well-defended but near-perfect fade-away in the closing seconds. 2024-25 will mark the fifth season under Andy Kennedy, who has led UAB to four consecutive seasons of at least 22 wins and three postseason appearances.
Temple will return to the Convocation Center on Saturday, Jan. 25, after stunning the AAC Tournament field with the run to the final, in spite of the Owls’ 16-20 record under then-first-year head coach Adam Fisher.
With the changeover in months, UTSA heads out for consecutive road contests, heading first to Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena to meet Florida Atlantic on Wednesday, Jan. 29, then the Roadrunners make their return to The Super Pit against North Texas for the first AAC rematch of the year on Saturday, Feb. 1. Darlings of the 2023 NCAA Final Four, Florida Atlantic built a power program in record time, securing a 25-9 record and second straight NCAA appearance under Dusty May before his offseason move to Michigan. The 2024-25 Owls program is now under the guidance of former Baylor associate head coach John Jakus in his first season.
On Wednesday, Feb. 5, Tulane will head to San Antonio for the in-season rematch. The Green Wave saw the Roadrunners take an 89-88 buzzer-beating victory in their last trip to the Convo and finished 14-17 last year, heading into the sixth year under Ron Hunter. East Carolina will round out the Roadrunners’ second homestand at the Convo on Saturday, Feb. 8, coming to San Antonio in consecutive years. Third-year coach Michael Schwartz leads the Pirates, coming off a 15-18 finish last year.
UTSA’s midwestern swing dates are set for Wednesday, Feb. 12 and Saturday, Feb. 15 at Wichita State and Tulsa, respectively.
The subsequent trip home won’t be short on excitement, as 2023’s biggest AAC surprise, the South Florida Bulls, return to the Convo on Wednesday, Feb. 19. Fans caught an all-out defensive battle in the last meeting, with USF edging out the 66-61 win, en route to a 25-8 record, the regular season AAC Championship and a second-round NIT appearance in the first year under Amir Abdur-Rahim.
A quick turn for the rematch, UTSA heads out to Greenville, North Carolina, to meet East Carolina at Williams Arena on Sunday, Feb. 23, for the second meeting with the Pirates in 15 days.
Following a perfectly timed six-day break, the final UTSA homestand of the season sees a Rice rematch on Sunday, March 2, followed by a Tuesday, March 4 standoff with an always-dangerous Memphis team in the home finale. In the seventh year under Penny Hardaway, the Tigers finished 22-10 but saw the season end in the AAC Tournament. Last January in the lone meeting between these programs, UTSA came within a hair of a history-making upset, pushing then 13th-ranked Memphis to overtime on the road at FedEx Forum before succumbing 107-101 in the shootout with the Tigers.
UTSA will close the season on the road at Charlotte on Sunday, March 9, at Dale F. Halton Arena. After moving from interim to head coach during the season, Aaron Fearne led the 49ers to a solid 19-12 season in 2023-24 but faced see-saw battles in both meetings with the Roadrunners last year.
The American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Championships will return to Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, for the fifth consecutive year. The tournament tips off on March 12 and runs through March 16.
The Roadrunners announced their non-conference schedule in early September, a 12-game set with five contests at home. In the first year under Claunch, UTSA’s roster will feature 15 new faces, with returning sophomore Nazar Mahmoud joined by Zach Gonsoulin, David Hermes, Raekwon Horton, Tai’Reon Joseph, Paul Lewis, Marcus Millender, Damari Monsanto, Mo Njie, Jaquan Scott, Jonnivius Smith, Primo Spears, Skylar Wicks, LJ Brown, Jackson Fazande and Baboucarr Njie. One of the more diverse groups in the country, the 2024-25 roster features players from nine states, with one player from Sweden. Six players on this year’s team hail from the Lone Star State.
In total, UTSA’s 2024-25 schedule includes 14 games at the Convocation Center. Games not slated for linear television broadcast will be streamed via ESPN+. Full tip times and broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date.
