CU to face Notre Dame for 1st time this season

For the first time in the 116-year history of Colorado basketball, here come the Irish.

On Wednesday, tournament organizers released the full schedule for the 2016 Legends Classic, and CU's first game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn pits the Buffs against Notre Dame for the first time in program history.

CU takes on the Fighting Irish on November 21 at 5 p.m. MST. The game will air on ESPN 2.

Notre Dame has reached consecutive Elite Eights under coach Mike Brey, but the Irish lost two key figures from that run in guard Demetrius Jackson, a second-round pick of the Boston Celtics, and forward Zach Auguste.
