Anticipation for a new season begins with the release of the schedule, and in what will be the first year in the ACC conference for the Stanford Cardinal, the conference schedules for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams were released on Tuesday night, as both teams will kick off its runs in the new conference in December.
Beginning this year, the ACC will use a new scheduling model, which will now feature 20 conference games along with some repeat opponents, as the men’s team will face Cal, SMU and Wake Forest twice, once at home and once on the road.
The men will play their first ACC game against Cal on Dec. 7, which according to a GoStanford.com piece, is the first ever pre-Christmas matchup between the two schools. Following the game against Cal, the Cardinal will face two more non-conference opponents in Merrimack and Oregon before resuming ACC competition on Jan. 1 with an away game against Clemson.
For the women, they will begin ACC play with a Dec. 13 matchup against Cal on the road, followed by home matchups against UTSA and Ohio State (at Chase Center) before resuming conference play on Jan. 2 when they travel to Texas to take on SMU.
Below are the full schedules for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs along with announced tipoff times (in Pacific Time) and TV channels.
