KENOSHA, WIS.—Just over a month removed from the 2018-19 season, the Carthage College men's basketball team has already turned the page to 2019-20 with the release of their schedule.
 
The Red Men will receive home cooking for their first five outings, which begins with a bout against Beloit College on Tuesday, November 12. Perhaps the most anticipated date of the season will follow on Tuesday, November 19, when Carthage is set to host reigning national champion UW-Oshkosh. The Red Men won in dramatic fashion 68-67 in their last meeting with the Titans on December 31, 2016 in Oshkosh, thanks to a Mike Stevenson three-pointer with 0:6 on the clock.
 
The Carthage College Invitational is set for November 22-23, where Rose-Hulman, Finlandia and Aurora will invade Tarble Arena. The Red Men will square-off against Finlandia on Friday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m., while Rose Hulman will take on Aurora in the other semifinal match at 5:00 p.m. The winners will face-off in the Carthage College Invitational Championship Game on November 23 at 3:00 p.m., while the non-winning squads will compete in the third place game at 1:00 p.m.
 
The Red Men will open CCIW play, and end their five-game home stretch on Wednesday, December 4 against defending CCIW Tournament Champion North Central College (Ill.).
 
New to Carthage's schedule is Alma College, who will pay Tarble Arena a visit on Saturday, December 14. The holiday season will pit the Red Men in Florida on December 17-18 at a tournament to be determined before they wrap-up non-conference play at Olivet on Tuesday, December 31.
 
The 2019-20 campaign will end at home against Illinois Wesleyan University on Saturday, February 22. The CCIW Men's Basketball Tournament Play-In Game is set for Tuesday, February 25 for the #3-#6 seeds.
