AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's basketball team has announced its 2015-16 non-conference schedule, which features at least five games against teams that competed in last season's NCAA Tournament.

The five non-conference opponents that were in the NCAA Tournament a year ago are the most for Iowa State since the 1990-91 team faced six tournament-tested foes.

Following an exhibition game on Nov. 6, the Cyclones open the regular season on Nov. 13 against Colorado at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The home opener will be against Chicago State on Monday, Nov. 16.

ISU has three home games in a row against tournament teams from Dec. 1-11. The stretch begins with North Dakota State on Dec. 1, which is followed by Buffalo coming to Hilton Coliseum on Dec. 7. ISU and Iowa meet in an Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series showdown on Dec. 11.



Times, television selections and Big 12 Conference schedule will be announced at a later date.
