Monmouth University basketball fans planning their winter game calendar are being reminded of an important scheduling update involving the Hawks and their Coastal Athletic Association rivals. While a previous listing suggested that the Monmouth men’s team would be facing Northeastern today, that matchup is not taking place on January 4. Instead, the men’s programs are now preparing for their next meeting later this month.
The Monmouth Hawks men will host the Northeastern Huskies at the OceanFirst Bank Center on January 19, 2026, with tip-off scheduled for 11:00 a.m. The game is expected to be a closely watched conference contest, continuing a rivalry that has quickly become one of the more competitive pairings in the CAA.
Meanwhile, there is still basketball action on campus today. The Monmouth women’s team takes the floor at 10:00 a.m., squaring off against the North Carolina A&T Aggies. The matchup offers fans an opportunity to catch live collegiate basketball while the men prepare for their upcoming conference stretch.
Since both programs joined the CAA in 2022, Monmouth and Northeastern have developed a competitive series. The men’s all-time record between the two schools currently stands even, with each side claiming four victories. Despite the balanced series overall, Monmouth has established a clear home-court edge, remaining unbeaten against Northeastern in West Long Branch.
Their most recent meeting, held in February 2025, showcased just how tight the rivalry has become. Monmouth narrowly secured a 78–73 win in a contest that was decided in the final minutes. The January 19 game is expected to bring similar intensity, with conference positioning and momentum on the line.
After the West Long Branch matchup, the two teams are scheduled to meet again on March 3, 2026, in Boston, completing their regular-season series. Together, the pair of games will play a meaningful role in shaping the CAA standings and postseason outlook.

As January unfolds, both the men’s and women’s programs continue to build toward pivotal conference stretches, offering local supporters plenty of reasons to keep their eyes on the Hawks.
