Tarleton’s fall sports are officially over as of Saturday, and for the short while, it will be just the basketball programs in action.
 
There are four games this week, two for each of the men’s and women’s basketball teams. There are three road games leading up to Thanksgiving, with the lone home game scheduled for Saturday. The men get things started Monday night at North Dakota State. The following day, the women will play at the College of Charleston. On Wednesday, the Tarleton men’s basketball team will face top-20 ranked Michigan in Ann Arbor. On Saturday, the Tarleton’s women’s basketball team plays host to Western Illinois.
 
TEXAN MBB keeps their tough stretch going of starting the year against some of the best teams in the nation with road games at North Dakota State and Michigan. The Texans will face the Bison at 7 p.m. CT on Monday at Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota. This will be the first matchup between North Dakota State and Tarleton in any sport. The Bison are 2-2 this season, owners of a 30-6 record in home games since 2018. NDSU is ranked No. 24 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid Major Top-25. On Wednesday, Tarleton faces its second opponent ranked in the AP top-20 in No. 20 Michigan in Ann Arbor at 8 p.m. CT. The Wolverines were a 1-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

It will mark Tarleton’s first “D1 vs. D1” non-conference home game. The Leathernecks are 3-1 this year, their lone loss coming at Notre Dame in their season opener. In the Texans’ last game, Iyana Dorsey had her 2021-22 breakout performance with a career-high 23 points – 18 of which came in the first half – on 7-of-15 shooting in just 18 minutes.
