Depends on how good these teams are next year. Hopefully these teams will help us out by having good seasons.Those games are enough to get in NCAA Tournament if we can make noise at those games.
Matchups are set for the 2017 Barclays Center Classic, which is being held Nov. 24-25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, a source told FanRag Sports.
The event, which is not held in a tournament-type setting, will feature Minnesota versus UMass and BYU against Alabama on one day, while the next day will showcase the Gophers against the Crimson Tide and the Minutemen vs. the Cougars.
Official tip-off times have yet to be determined.
Both Minnesota and Alabama should be ranked in the Preseason Top 25 entering next season. The Crimson Tide are ranked 24th in the FanRag Sports Preseason Top 25. Minnesota comes in ranked at 14.
Nice. These out-of-conference games are featuring some really good players. Will get to see Tacko Fall against UCF... very interested to see how Hall and Giddens handle him.
That is awesome and obviously Byrne's connection is getting us this series. Buckle up!!!
