VALDOSTA, Ga. – The Valdosta State men's basketball team announced their 2024-25 schedule on Wednesday. The Blazers will host 16 regular games at The Complex and a grand total of 28 games.
 

"We are excited to face a very difficult schedule for the 2024-25 season. As always, the Gulf South Conference is one of the toughest DII conferences in the country and will test us night in and night out. We also are playing three in-state schools with Fort Valley State, Clark Atlanta and Morehouse College. It's good for the State of Georgia to have these in-state games and the high level of competition. We are ready to get it started and looking forward to what we can accomplish." - Head Coach Mike Helfer
