The Phoenix will open its Horizon League slate by visiting the defending regular-season champions in Wright State, facing the Raiders on Saturday, Dec. 28.

GB will then host UIC, IUPUI, Milwaukee, Oakland and Detroit Mercy, starting a stretch of seven out of nine games at home. Subsequently, a five-game road trip follows the NKU and Wright State homestand to close out January and kickstart February.
Looking to end on a positive note before the league tournament, Youngstown State and Cleveland State visit Green Bay to wrap up the regular season. The season finale against CSU will be the annual Krash the Kress game, also serving as senior day for the program's five seniors (
