SFA takes their first conference road trip in mid-December as the team travels to Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State for a key early season trip. The `Jacks then venture to Tulsa, Oklahoma on December 29 for their final non-conference game of the year against Oral Roberts.
The team then begins a streak of seventeen straight SLC games on January 3, as it travels to Northwestern State. The regular season concludes March 2, in Lake Charles, with defending Southland Conference regular season champion McNeese State University.
