Full Schedule

AIKEN, S.C. – USCA, in conjunction with head men's basketball coach Mark Vanderslice, is pleased to announce the 2025-26 schedule.

""It is our objective each season to prepare our team to become Peach Belt Conference and postseason ready," Vanderslice stated. "This year is no different. We have positioned our program to be matched up against some of the strongest non-conference foes in our region. The combination of both non-conference and conference opponents that we face will ultimately give our guys the most battle tested experience for postseason play!"

Vanderslice's squad opens the season at home against UNC Pembroke on Friday, Nov. 14, for the first part of the Region Challenge. The team hits the road two days later for a game at Catawba. USCA welcomes Virginia University of Lynchburg on Nov. 19 before playing at Newberry on Nov. 22. 

The Pacers host three consecutive home games, starting with Erskine on Nov. 25. On Saturday, Nov. 29, the squad hosts Fayetteville State before closing out the homestand against USC Beaufort on Dec. 3. 

Vanderslice's team hits the road for a contest at Middle Georgia on Dec. 6. The Pacers stay on the road to take on Flagler on Dec. 13. 

USCA then hosts North Georgia (Dec. 17) and Francis Marion (Dec. 20) before closing out the calendar year with the final non-conference contest of the regular season at Emmanuel on Dec. 31.

The new year starts with a trip to Lander on Jan. 3. Vanderslice's squad returns home for key match-ups against Columbus State (Jan. 7) and Georgia College (Jan. 10). The Pacers head to Augusta on Jan. 14 before hosting Clayton State (Jan. 17) and Georgia Southwestern (Jan. 21) in a pair of league clashes.
