MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee men's basketball program will open the 2019-20 conference season with a pair of road games before returning to UWM Panther Arena just after the turn of the New Year to open the home portion.
The team also closes out the regular season with three of five contests at home in the month of February, according to the Horizon League schedule released today by the league office.

Third-year head coach
Pat Baldwin will get conference play underway with a challenging road trip, opening against Northern Kentucky Dec. 28 before following that up with a meeting against Wright State Dec. 30. Both the Norse and Raiders shared the regular-season title a year ago with identical 13-5 conference ledgers.
The league home opener comes just after the calendar turns to 2020, hosting IUPUI Jan. 3 and UIC Jan. 5 at UWM Panther Arena.
From there, the drive up to challenge Green Bay on the road awaits Jan. 11, followed by home contests against Detroit Mercy Jan. 16 and Oakland Jan. 18.
The road trip to Ohio arrives next, hitting the road to take on Youngstown State Jan. 23, followed by Cleveland State Jan. 25. The month then closes with a home game against WSU Jan. 31.
The second half of the league schedule commences in full in February, with the Panthers welcoming the Norse on their home court Feb. 2.
The following weekend has MKE traveling to UIC Feb. 6, followed by a drive to Indiana for a Saturday matinee against IUPUI Feb. 8.
The stretch run starts, with Milwaukee home the majority of the way. Green Bay opens the stretch Feb. 15, with the final road trip taking MKE to Rochester, Mich. Feb. 21 and Detroit Feb. 23.
The final homestand sees the Panthers host the Vikings Feb. 27 and the Penguins Feb. 29.
