2020-21 UNC Asheville Women’s Basketball Schedule

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference released its 2020-21 women’s basketball composite league schedule earlier this afternoon. For the second consecutive campaign, the Bulldogs will compete in a 20-game double round-robin schedule. Unlike last season, however, all games will be back-to-back contests against the same opponent at the same location on consecutive days to limit the amount of travel.

UNC Asheville will tip-off its Big South schedule on December 19-20 with a road trip to High Point. In addition to those two contests, the Bulldogs will also travel to Presbyterian (Jan. 4-5), Charleston Southern (Jan. 15-16), Radford (Jan. 22-23), and Campbell (Feb. 12-13). Asheville will welcome in Longwood (Dec. 30-31), Hampton (Jan. 9-10), USC Upstate (Feb. 5-6), Winthrop (Feb. 19-20), and Gardner-Webb (Feb. 26-27) to Kimmel Arena for two-game sets during the unique 2020-21 women’s basketball season.

The 2021 Hercules Tires Big South Women’s Basketball Championship will be a home-site/earned seed format.  The current schedule features first round games at the No. 6, 7 and 8 seeds on Tuesday, March 9.  The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played at the No. 1 seed on Thursday-Friday, March 11-12, while the highest remaining seed will host the championship game on Sunday, March 14.

The regular-season and conference tournament schedules are subject to change.

A reminder that fans will initially not be permitted at home basketball games through December 31, 2020.  A decision about permitting fans beginning in 2021 will be announced at a later date as state and local guidelines regarding COVID-19 are released.
