ELON, N.C. – Elon University men's basketball first-year head coach Mike Schrage announced his squad's full 2019-20 schedule Friday, Sept. 13. Throughout the year, Elon will host 16 home games at Schar Center while also visiting Power Five foes Georgia Tech, Michigan and North Carolina.
 
"I am really excited to announce our schedule for the 2019-2020 season," Schrage said. It will be a very challenging non-conference that will certainly prepare us for the rigors of CAA play. We start with an exhibition against one of the premier Division II programs in the country before quickly competing against three high major opponents. We will always be willing to play teams in the Carolinas, as it makes us better and draws the interest of both fan bases. I'm really looking forward to starting practice here soon and preparing for this schedule ahead."

Elon opens the season at home on Tuesday, Nov. 5, against Mars Hill, before hosting Milligan on Friday, Nov. 8. Following the quick two game homestand, the Phoenix will then hit the road for a three-game stretch beginning on Monday, Nov. 11, against Georgia Tech. Later that week, Elon will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on Michigan on Friday, Nov. 15. The Phoenix ends its early season road trip on Wednesday, Nov. 20, when it travels to Chapel Hill for a matchup with North Carolina.
 
Beginning Nov. 23, Elon returns to Schar Center where it will take on Manhattan to kick off a four game homestand. After Manhattan, the Phoenix will host Furman on Nov. 26, before tipping off in a home contest against UT-Arlington at noon on Thanksgiving Day.
 
Elon will hit the road for a majority of December, playing games at High Point, Campbell and Winthrop on Dec. 5, 17 and 21 respectively. The Phoenix begins conference play on Dec. 30, when it hosts William & Mary at 7 p.m. before opening the new year with back-to-back road contests against Northeastern and Hofstra on Jan. 2 and 4.
 
In conference action, Elon will host each CAA program while hitting the road to face each throughout December, January and February. Its home slate will conclude with a Feb. 15 matchup against Drexel with the regular season closing on Feb. 29 on the road against William & Mary.
 
New in 2020, the CAA Championships will be held in Washington, D.C. beginning on Saturday, March 7.
