A FEW NOTES
♦ This will be the first of three in the first four games of the year to be played at home in VyStar Arena, as KSU will also play hosts to Point College on November 12 and South Florida on Nov. 16.
♦ KSU is looking to win its season opener for the fourth straight season, and this also marks the fourth straight year the Owls have opened at home. All-time in the Division I era, KSU is 8-12 in season openers, and 16-4 in their home opener.
♦ In addition to the three home games, the Owls will play a total of four games this month in the Sunshine State. First will be a road contest at Florida A&M on Saturday, Nov. 8. Then during Thanksgiving Week, the Owls will play in the Geico Coconut Hoops event, a MTE hosted by former Atlantic Sun Conference rival FGCU in Fort Myers on Nov. 24-26. KSU will open the event against the Rice Owls on Nov. 24 and another neutral battle against Oral Roberts on Nov. 25, before facing off against the host FGCU Owls on Nov. 26.
