The Gophers men’s basketball team was hampered by a poor non-conference schedule last season. This contributed to the Gophers going to the NIT instead of earning an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament.
Minnesota addressed its non-conference slate on Thursday, announcing it will play in the ESPN Events Invitational Nov. 28-29 at State Farm Field House in Kissimmee, Florida.
The four-team field includes Florida, Wake Forest and Wichita State. Matchups, game times and TV schedules will be announced at a later date.
The Gophers had a 19-15 overall record last season, a 10-win improvement from two years ago. OU reached the second round of the NIT last March before falling to No. 1 overall in the state of Indiana.
