The American Athletic Conference has released home-away pairings for the 2021-22 men’s basketball season.
The league returns to its traditional 18-game schedule, with each team assigned eight home-and-home series, plus one home-only and one road-only opponent.
The defending champion Shockers will not visit South Florida in 2021-22 and do not have a home game against Temple.
The full American Athletic Conference schedule is due out in early September, along with tip times and television assignments.
