UB Men’s Basketball will play in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off tournament next season. It’s the second time in the last four years that the Bulls will participate in the tourney.
Unlike in the 2015 edition of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off, Buffalo will stay home at Alumni Arena for the campus rounds of the tournament in exchange for $150,000. If the tournament layout stays the same, Buffalo will be placed in the Naismith bracket, which typically has two or three Power-5 teams in it.
After hosting two games with teams from the Springfield bracket, UB will then play two neutral-site games at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut for a chance at the Naismith bracket title.
