I'm excited to see who that will be against. Those tournaments
are usually regional in nature. Hopefully it winds up being a
great get for us.

Hofstra released its non-con schedule. We're set to host them on
Tuesday, December 12.

Could it be the PK-80? It has to be, doesn't it? I see the
16-team bracket but I'm not sure how the rest of it works.
Before the event in Portland, some teams play games that are
under the PK-80 umbrella as well (see UNH @ Texas 11/14
HTML http://www.texassports.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball).
If we are in fact involved with the PK-80, that could put us up
against a power program right after the Maryland game. Here's
the bracket for the PK-80 event in Portland

I was wondering that myself. The elite 16 team field goes to
Portland but I think they will play other teams . That's the
only Nike Tournament I could find .

In Heilbron's blog, he said we are hosting a 2017 NCAA
tournament team. Ruling out the power conferences, Vermont,
teams that have released their schedules, and other teams that
I'm removing by logic (St. Mary's, VCU, etc.), that leaves a
handful of teams. My money's on us getting Bucknell, which
already faces UNC in the PK-80 regional round. Just a guess. Not
actual money.
Other tourney teams from the region are Mount St. Mary's and
Iona.

Mt. St. Mary's, Iona, and/or Bucknell???
Perhaps I'm whining too much, but playing a bunch of MAAC or
Patriot teams doesn't interest me at all (certainly not in
basketball). I can't even pretend to give a ****. I do want
regional games don't get me wrong, but against teams people have
heard of before and are known to be good.
Checkmate, you're probably right about it being Bucknell all
things considered. I just long for the day when we can get more
home games against Big Ten and Big East teams.

It probably is one of them which for us isn't bad, During the
Warney Era Iona would not even talk about a game against us
home or away. Bucknell is tough but it is good Mid Major team

Because I'm a nudge, I emailed an old colleague at one of the
PK80 schools.
"I’m not sure if Stony Brook is a part of the event or not. If
you were told it is a Nike-sponsored event it is probably the
PK80.
Stony Brook can be a part of the PK80 (or any other preseason
tournament for that matter) without going to the actual “bracket
play” rounds in Portland. Per NCAA rules, each team can play up
to four games in these tournaments. So what they do is, have an
eight team bracket (3 games guaranteed for each school) and play
an on-campus game at the site of the “big school” going to the
bracket play and that counts as the fourth game of the
tournament, for the big school. The smaller school will play one
or two or these “big schools” then and play other smaller
schools who did the same thing, so they can get their four games
in. It will still technically be a part of the PK80, but will
not participate in bracket/elimination play, like the rest of
the big schools will in Portland."
UConn has an TBD PK-80 game on November 14. Maybe?

Out of the 32 conferences, it seems the America East is ranked
somewhere between 21 and 28 depending on where you look. Our
schedule looks a lot like those across the conference – better
than many I'd say. Save for a favor from Pikiell, I don't see a
power conference team coming to IFCU until/if we change
conferences. Getting Maryland at a neutral site close to home is
even pretty good.
Bucknell isn't sexy but it would still be a solid get. That, of
course, is just speculation at this point.

Other than Rutgers last year we had Jay Wright and Villanova
here many years ago and before that Utah. All were favors
returned which brought those teams to Long Island and our gym .
Bucknell would be a good game for us I'm excited to see who
else we might play .
