Brown’s first-year head coach Mike Martin is excited about the upcoming schedule. "We’re extremely excited about the challenges that await us this season,” said Martin. “Our non-conference schedule will prepare us well for what should be another extremely competitive Ivy League. The opportunity for our group to play Providence College in our gym will be a special night for us and should prove to be a tremendous environment in the Pizzitola Sports Center. In addition, games against Notre Dame and Northwestern in the Midwest will be great for our Chicago natives to play in front of friends and family."
Brown does have the unenviable task of playing 5 of its first 6 Ivy League games on the road.
