The University of Colorado men's and women's basketball teams have 17 home games apiece on full 2008-09 schedules released on Thursday.

The men face nine NCAA Tournament schools from last season in addition to two NIT foes. They open the season Nov. 14 at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and begin conference play at Missouri on Jan. 14.

Coach Jeff Bzdelik's crew plays on the road three times in nonconference play, including at Stanford on Nov. 29 and the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii from Dec. 27-30.

The men's slate includes two in-state foes in Colorado State (Dec. 10) and Western State (Jan. 7).

The conference portion is highlighted by a nationally televised game at home against Texas on Feb. 14.

Coach Kathy McConnell-Miller's women's team, meanwhile, faces at least 16 teams that made the NCAA or WNIT tourneys.

The women open the season at home against Central Florida on Nov. 16. They host Colorado State on Nov 19 before traveling to face McConnell-Miller's alma mater, Virginia, on Nov. 24.

The women also head to Hawaii for a tournament, the Paradise Classic Jan. 2-4 where they'll face Hawaii and Pepperdine.

Colorado opens Big 12 play on Jan. 10 by hosting Baylor in the first of four straight games against South Division foes.
