Yes. The home game against St. Louis on Oct. 29 in an exhibition game. But it's a bit of a surprise to see a home game against a solid program like DePaul. It will probably require a return visit to Chicago next year. The road game at Nebraska is likely a "buy game". I don't see a Big Ten team playing a return game in Peoria.
They get Missouri in the first game at the Fort Myers Tip-Off, though they haven't been very good the last couple seasons, then Abilene Christian, which was a 22-win team last year. Note that the BU schedule mistakenly shows those two games being played in the Renaissance Coliseum, instead of in Fort Myers, Florida.
The IU Indy, Western Illinois, Chicago State, and Northern Kentucky games are all the second half of home and home agreements.

Not sure if mentioned, but Coach Popovec just got a 2026 commitment from one of the top players in Wisconsin
Samantha Davis, plays for LaCrosse Aquinas High School. In her three years there, full time starter, the team has gone
74-11, and has a 114 game consecutive winning streak in their conference!
She averaged 17.2 ppg, 10.1 rpg.

Samantha Davis has some pretty good basketball connections in her family...
She is the younger sister of Johnny Davis who starred at Wisconsin and who was an NBA lottery pick,
and of Jordan Davis who played 3 years at Wisconsin and two at Illinois State, just completing his grad-senior year at ISU last spring.

Also, her dad Mark Davis was draftedby the Cavaliers in 1985, spent some time with with both the Suns and the Bucks and had a career overseas.
