The Fort Hays State men’s basketball squad hits the road for the first time this season with games at Central Missouri and Southwest Baptist. FHSU opened the year with a nine-game home stand and currently sits at 7-2 overall and 1-2 in the MIAA.

The Tigers picked up their first win in MIAA play this year on Saturday (Dec. 12) with an 84-75 win over Nebraska-Kearney.
