Xavier University announced its complete 2021-22 men's basketball non-conference schedule Wednesday.
The Musketeers have 11 non-conference games – eight at Cintas Center – scheduled for the upcoming season.
"The Musketeers hope to return their home to full capacity this season after the (COVID-19) pandemic reduced access last season," said a press release announcing the non-conference schedule.
The regular-season opener is Nov. 9 at home against Niagara. Xavier will have a home exhibition game, but that information hasn't been released yet.
Kent State comes to Cintas Center on Nov. 12, followed by Ohio State on Nov. 18 in the Gavitt Games, and Norfolk State on Nov. 21.
