LSU is reportedly set to host UMBC as part of its 2019-20 non-conference schedule.

Will Wade and company have yet to announce their full slate of non-conference opponents for this season, but it appears that the Retrievers will be included among the teams that will make the trip to Baton Rouge.

The two teams have met once previously, with LSU earning the victory in Baton Rouge back in 1994.

UMBC is coming off its third-straight 20-win season under head coach Ryan Odom, with the most noteworthy one being the first round win over No. 1 seed Virginia in the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

The Tigers return several key contributors while also adding a top 35 recruiting class to the roster.
