Davidson College Athletics issued the following announcement on Sept. 9.
The Atlantic 10 Conference released each team's 18-game league slate for the upcoming 2021-22 college basketball season.
Each of the league's 14 teams will play five opponents both at home and away, while also playing four only at home and four solely on the road.
The Wildcats, who captured the 2015 regular season crown in their inaugural league campaign and the tournament title three years later, will host and visit Duquesne, Fordham, Rhode Island, Saint Joseph's and VCU.
Additionally, George Mason, La Salle, UMass and Saint Louis will visit Belk Arena for their sole meetings with the Wildcats, while Davidson will travel to Dayton, George Washington, Richmond and last season's A-10 champion, St. Bonaventure.
Davidson, which is entering its eighth season as a member of the Atlantic 10, will tip the 2021-22 conference slate against Duquesne on Dec. 30 on McKillop Court, where the 'Cats are 47-13 in A-10 play.
The Wildcats are 76-43 (.639) in seven A-10 regular seasons, including 7-4 in the 2020-21 season, which was significantly altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In all, the 'Cats will play 10 conference tilts on national television with the remaining eight airing on ESPN+.
Last fall, the Atlantic 10 extended its long-standing agreements with all three media partners. This will mark the ninth year of the continuing agreements with ESPN, CBS Sports and NBC Sports. Atlantic 10 institutions reside in states that comprise 33.3 million television households, approximately 30 percent of the total national media market. There are nine A-10 institutions in or adjacent to the top 25 media markets in the country.
After going 13-9 last season, the Wildcats are set to return three starters, including 6-7 guard Hyunjung Lee, the first Wildcat to shoot at least 50 percent from the field (.508), 40 percent from 3-point range (.442) and 90 percent from the foul line (.90) in a season. The rising junior is the team's top returning scorer, with a 13.5 points per game average last season.
The 2022 Atlantic Men's Basketball Tournament returns to Capital One Arena March 9-13 in Washington, D.C., site of Davidson's 2018 Championship.
