Now that fall has finally made its arrival, college basketball is right around the corner.
The Big East Conference released its schedule for the 2021-22 season on Thursday, so Xavier men's basketball fans can finally start to furnish their calendars.
Xavier will have as many as 13 non-conference games and 20 Big East games. Game times and television coverage will be announced at a later date.
The conference portion of Xavier's schedule begins against Marquette at Cintas Center on Dec. 18 – the earliest league opener in school history.
The Musketeers have three Big East games in December, eight in January, seven in February, and two in March, followed by the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden March 9-12.
