“We’ve obviously challenged ourselves greatly, playing against seven teams that played in the NCAA tournament or NIT a year ago,” said Herrion.

The nonconference schedule includes trips Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Penn State with the Gamecocks and Nittany Lions coming back to Huntington in the 2014-15 season.

“We want to have a national schedule and play the best teams we can play,” said Herrion.  “We’ve worked tireless to put together the best schedule each year.”
