TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State Head Women's Basketball Coach Marc Mitchell unveiled the Sycamores' 2024-25 non-conference schedule Monday afternoon. The Trees' 11-game non-conference slate features four games against teams from the Big East, Big Ten or Big XII and five total games against 2023-24 postseason teams.
 
Indiana State opens its 2024-25 season November 4 at home, as the Sycamores welcome Western Kentucky to Hulman Center. This season marks the third time in the last four years that the Sycamores and Lady Toppers have squared off on the hardwood.
 
The Sycamores hit the road for their next two games, starting with a November 7 tilt at Iowa State, a team which reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Indiana State and Iowa State have never played against each other prior to the 2024-25 season. The Trees close their two-game road swing November 12 at Wright State, paying the Raiders a return visit after their 2023-24 contest inside Hulman Center.
 
Indiana State plays its final home non-conference game November 15 when Austin Peay travels north to Hulman Center. The Sycamores and Governors last played in 2001, with Austin Peay's last trip to Terre Haute coming in 2000. Following the contest against Austin Peay, Indiana State plays seven straight games away from home, with six of those being true road games.
 
The Sycamores' lengthy road trip to close the non-conference schedule starts November 20 with a trip east to face Butler, a 2024 WNIT team, inside Hinkle Fieldhouse. Indiana State closes the month of November in the Show-Me State with a November 30 game at Southeast Missouri State. The Sycamores defeated the Redhawks last season in Terre Haute.
 
Indiana State begins the month of December against another 2024 NCAA Tournament team, as the Sycamores head north to face Marquette December 3. The Trees and Golden Eagles last met in the 2014 WNIT. Following the game in Milwaukee, Indiana State makes the short trek to Charleston to face Eastern Illinois December 6.
 
The Sycamores will take part in a Multi-Team Event (MTE) December 15-16 in Richmond, Kentucky. Indiana State will play Northern Illinois, a team the Trees faced at the 2023 Puerto Rico Clasico, December 15 before facing host institution Eastern Kentucky December 16. Eastern Kentucky was a WNIT team last season.
 
Indiana State closes its non-conference slate in West Lafayette for the second straight season, as the Sycamores face Purdue, which made the 2024 WNIT, December 21 at Mackey Arena. This season is the third straight year in which the Sycamores and Boilermakers square off, after going more than 20 years without facing each other.
 
Indiana State's 20-game Missouri Valley Conference schedule will be announced after it is finalized by the conference office in the coming weeks. Tip times for the full 2024-25 schedule will be announced once finalized.
 
The 2024-25 season ushers in a new era for Indiana State Women's Basketball, as Marc Mitchell enters his first season as the Sycamores' head coach. In addition to an entirely new coaching staff, six newcomers enter the fold for the Trees for the 2024-25 campaign. Nine players return from last year's team for Indiana State, all of which played in at least 14 games during the 2023-24 season.
