    JONESBORO, Ark. (7/1/25) – The Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt Conference revealed matchups for the first round of the 2025-26 MAC-SBC Challenge on Tuesday, with all games set to take place on Monday, Nov. 3.
     
    The A-State women’s team – led by fourth-year head coach Destinee Rogers – hosts Ball State inside First National Bank Arena, while first-year head coach Ryan Pannone and the A-State men’s squad travel to Ohio for a showdown in the Convocation Center.
     
    The reigning Sun Belt Conference Tournament champions defeated the Cardinals 74-72 in their lone meeting at the 2001 Loyola Marymount Thanksgiving Classic. The A-State men – coming off their first Sun Belt Conference regular season title since 1998 – last faced the Bobcats in the 2023-24 MAC-SBC Challenge, claiming a 100-87 victory to even the all-time series at 1-1.
     
    In 2024-25, the conferences evenly split 24 games on the men’s side while the MAC claimed a 15-9 advantage on the women’s side. A-State’s men claimed an 80-75 overtime victory over Akron before dropping a 75-76 decision at Kent State while the women dropped matchups against Western Michigan (52-61) and Bowling Green (73-75).
     
    The Sun Belt men and MAC women’s teams will host February matchups, which will be determined in January.
     

    Complete non-conference and conference schedules for A-State men’s and women’s basketball will be released at a later date. Season tickets are available for purchase at AStateRedWolves.com/tickets or by calling (870) 972-ASU1.
