Tiffin University will play a full regular-season schedule along with two Division I exhibitions in 2021-22, as the team released its upcoming schedule.

TU will tune-up for the season with trips to Bellarmine on Oct. 28 and then Butler on Oct. 30, playing in iconic arenas Freedom Hall and Hinkle Fieldhouse.

The season then kicks off on the road at the GMAC-GLVC Crossover Challenge in St. Louis, Missouri. TU takes on Maryville (Mo.) on Nov. 13 before finishing with Missouri-St. Louis on Nov. 14. They then return home in their Gillmor Center debut against Kentucky State on Nov. 20 and Carlow Nov. 23.

December sees the start of GMAC play, with TU hosting Cedarville on Dec. 2 in the first of two home games in the month. TU then travels to Ohio Dominican Dec. 4 and Lake Erie Dec. 8 before coming home to face Waynesburg on Dec. 11. To finish the month TU will travel south to the Tampa Classic, battling Tampa on Dec. 17 and Eckerd on Dec. 18.

TU returns to the GMAC schedule in earnest in January. After traveling to Malone on Jan. 3, they come home to face Kentucky Wesleyan on Jan. 6 and Trevecca Nazarene on Jan. 8. A short trip to Findlay on Jan. 13 is followed by a home game with Hillsdale on Jan. 15. Road trips to Walsh on Jan. 18 and Cedarville on Jan. 20 lead up to three straight home games to close out the month. Ohio Dominican comes to town on Jan. 22 followed by non-conference Salem on Jan. 27 and Lake Erie on Jan. 29.

February opens with Ashland Week, as TU hosts the Eagles on Feb. 2 before traveling to Ashland on Feb. 5. TU then travels south to Kentucky Wesleyan on Feb. 10 and Trevecca Nazarene on Feb. 12 before hosting Malone on Feb. 17 and Walsh on Feb. 19. TU's last regular-season road game takes them to Hillsdale on Feb. 24 before Senior Day on Feb. 26 at home against Findlay.

The GMAC Tournament begins on March 1.

"We have an exciting and certainly challenging non-conference schedule but I know our entire program is ready to play a full schedule in 2021-22," said Head Men's Basketball Coach Tom Church. "Preparing for a difficult GMAC schedule is our number one priority and we certainly feel we have done this with our non-conference schedule. In regard to our exhibition schedule, I am excited for our players and our program to have the chance to compete against two high-level Division I programs in Bellarmine and Butler University.  Playing in two historical venues like Freedom Hall and Hinkle Fieldhouse will be a memorable experience for our players and coaches and it will certainly be an exciting and challenging road trip."
