Jon Rothstein says SJU-ASU will be part of a doubleheader in LA along with Oklahoma and USC on Saturday 12/8.

He also tweeted that 3 days prior to that, 12/5, SJU will play Grand Canyon in Arizona as part of another DH that includes Arizona and Texas A & M.

They also have Duke next year.  I am forgetting but I know SJU has a pre-season Tourney as well, does anyone remember which one they are committed to for next season?

Missouri is in that tournament, and they just got a whole lot more interesting next year, with the addition of Michael Porter Jr.

UCF's prospects for next year probably hinges on Taco Fall's NBA decision (he's testing the waters).

From that 3 point/dunk contest, Grand Canyon looks like a great place to play

Saw them play once or twice during the past couple of seasons and it seemed like they have a pretty good program going with some nice athletes and players.

We are going to have a tough schedule next season. I am glad that the staff is challenging the team because a strong SOS is important if you have NCAA aspirations. Should be some great non conference game between ASU, GCU, Duke and the Advocare tournament. Add in the Big East schedule and there are plenty of opportunities for quality wins.

We have top half talent in the BE as currently constituted.

+1, to say we don't have talent is ridiculous. We could use a talented big for sure but so could mostly every team.

Has to be the first time Nebraska plays inside of Carnesecca. For a November Wednesday night I'll take it. Good to have some legit competition before the West Coast road trip.

Georgetown and Villanova are out of the rotation this year. Every matchup is really solid-

Nebraska is also in the Disney World Tournament, so we could see them twice in November (I'm sure they will put us on opposite sides of the bracket in Florida).

As far as Georgetown and Nova being the two teams out of it this year, that cancels out, IMO.  Expecting a 4-4 tie in this event for the third straight year.

Since we play them in a casino, why not get them to bet the trademark SJU.

Per restormsports.com

QUEENS, N.Y. – The Gavitt Tipoff Games lineup was revealed on Wednesday by the BIG EAST and Big Ten Conferences for the third annual event that runs from Nov. 13-17, 2017. As part of the early-season showdown between two of the nation’s top college basketball leagues, St. John’s will host Nebraska on Thursday, Nov. 16 with a national broadcast carried on FS1. Game times will be announced at a later date.
 
The unique eight-game event is named in honor of Dave Gavitt, who had a profound and lasting influence on the sport of basketball on the collegiate, professional and Olympic levels. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
 
St. John’s faces Nebraska for the first time in program history. The Red Storm split its pervious two contests in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, defeating Rutgers in the inaugural event before falling on the road last season at NCAA Tournament bound Minnesota.
 
Scheduled to take place through 2022, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be played on consecutive days in the first full week of the college basketball campaign. The series will span eight years, with games played at home sites. Each BIG EAST team will participate a minimum of six times, while Big Ten programs will take part a minimum of four times. Teams from both conferences already meet in some traditional rivalry games, and those matchups will continue in upcoming seasons.

Both Nebraska and Long Beach St are in Orlando in addition to being on SJU's regular season non-conference schedule.

They are not bad matchups but that is a poor job of scheduling, there is no way SJU should be in a position of playing a non-conference opponent more than once in the regular season. 

I guess it can be explained this way, the BE and Big 10 decided on the Nebraska/SJU matchup thus the beef should be with them on that one.  The LBSU is a return game and my guess is neither side realized that both teams were lined up for the same Tourney in Orlando the same year.

I'm pretty sure LB St isn't on the non conference schedule besides the advocare.  STJ owes them a game in Long Beach but I don't think that's happening this year.
