JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors' men's basketball team has released their 2013-14 schedule. 

The Majors made it a point to play near the home towns of each of the three seniors: Ryan Berger, Tully Gilligan and Murray Kastner. 

"One of the best things about our schedule is that it gives each of our seniors an opportunity to play near their hometown in front of friends and family," assistant coach Rodney Rogan said. 

The season unofficially opens in New Orleans, near Berger's hometown of Kenner, Louisiana as the Majors play an exhibition game agains the University of New Orleans. 

The home opener is just three days later as Pensacola Christian comes in for a Friday night contest. It is the first of a back-to-back for the Majors as East Texas Baptist comes in the following night for a non-conference tilt. 

"We typically play a very competitive non-conference schedule, and this year is no different," Rogan added. 

After trips to Rust and Covenant, the Majors open up SAA play with a trip to take on the Panthers of Birmingham Southern on December first. 

The following weekend,  the Majors travel to the backyard of Murray Kastner with dates at the University of Dallas and Austin College. 

The holidays will be spent in Daytona Beach, Florida not far from Ocala, the home of Tully Gilligan. The Daytona Beach Shootout has the Majors taking on Stockton (NJ) and Shenandoah on December 20th and 21st, respectfully. 

The Majors host their own classic over the new year as Centenary (LA) and Rust come into compete in the Millsaps' New Year's Classic January 3-5.
