Norfolk State Basketball Announces Pair of Schedule Changes

NORFOLK, Virginia  – The Norfolk State men's basketball program announced today changes to a pair of games during the 2018-19 season, including one regular season contest and one exhibition.

NSU's exhibition game against Virginia State has been moved from Wednesday, Oct. 31 to Friday, Nov. 2. Game time is still set for 7 p.m. from Joseph Echols Hall. This will mark the third straight season the two teams will play an exhibition game prior to the start of the season.

In addition, NSU will now host Regent University on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Regent will replace NYIT, which was originally set to play NSU on that same day. Game time is still 7 p.m. on Nov. 20 at Echols Hall.

This weekend, the men's and women's basketball programs will hold their annual Spartan Madness at Echols Hall on Saturday, Sept. 29, beginning at 8:30 p.m. as part of Tip-Off Week. It was originally announced in early September that Spartan Madness would take place on Oct. 6 before a change of date occurred.

Along with Spartan Madness, the NSU Skate Party also was moved up a week. It will now happen this Sunday, Sept. 30, after an original announcement date of Oct. 7.
