The 2020-21 NSIC Men's & Women's Basketball seasons gets underway this Saturday and Sunday on all 16 campuses across the five-state area. The basketball schedules will be comprised of 16-games played over eight weeks, with teams playing the same opponent at one site on back-to-back days. The season will start with two non-conference games against one NSIC out-of-division opponent. The conference schedule will then consist of 14 games with teams playing each member of its division twice. For this season, the NSIC will only crown a North Division and South Division Champion. There will be no doubleheaders this year, instead each institution will either have a men's or a women's team at home while the other gender will be on the road. Composite schedules:
Men's |
Women's |
