Head Coach Lonnie Blow, Jr. and his Virginia State University Men’s Basketball squad face a hard-hitting 25-game slate for the 2024-2025 campaign.

The Trojans are set to battle through a schedule packed with thrilling matchups, kicking off with the much-anticipated Trojan Tip-Off Classic.

The hardwood action ignites on Nov. 8-9 with VSU squaring off against Gannon and Shepherd universities in back-to-back nights. Fans won’t have to wait long for more home-court heroics, as the Trojans host their season opener against Chowan on Nov. 13, with tipoff set for 8 p.m.

Blow’s boys then hit the road, venturing into Tar Heel territory for clashes with UNC Pembroke (Nov. 16) and Barton College (Nov. 20). The squad returns to its fortress for a three-game homestand, welcoming Lander (Nov. 23), Fayetteville State (Nov. 30) and Shaw (Dec. 3). 

Conference play heats up in mid- December, with the Trojans embarking on a challenging three-game road trip. They’ll lock horns with Saint Augustine’s (Dec. 17), Fayetteville State (Dec. 19) and Claflin (Dec. 21) before the holiday break.

The new year brings a four-game home stretch, highlighted by a highly anticipated showdown with Virginia Union on Jan. 18. As the season progresses, VSU will navigate a mix of home and away contests, facing off against familiar foes and new challengers alike.

The Trojans will close out their regular-season campaign with a flourish, hosting four straight games at The Land of Troy before wrapping up with two road battles. The finale promises fireworks, as VSU travels to face arch-rival Virginia Union University on Feb. 22.
