AIKEN, S.C. – USCA, in conjunction with head men's basketball coach Mark Vanderslice, is excited to announce the 2024-25 schedule.

"We are thrilled about our schedule for this upcoming season," Vanderslice stated. "Every year we want to position our program for conference and postseason play. We believe that by competing against a lineup of tough non-conference opponents we will equip our team with the battle tested experience needed to be fully prepared for our first conference game. There will be no days off this season and I'm really excited for the challenge."

The Pacers, fresh off their second consecutive PBC regular-season title, open the season at region foe UNC Pembroke on Nov. 8. Two days later, Pacer Nation gets to see the squad in action in the Convocation Center for a rare Sunday afternoon contest against Catawba.
