For the third-consecutive season the Wildcats and Pioneers will meet during the preseason with a matchup in Rupp Arena.

Transylvania posted a 20-8 record last year and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championship. Transy fell in the opening round to Illinois Wesleyan.

Transy lost six seniors from last year's squad including a trio of 1,000-point scorers.
