Purdue-Arizona State and Florida-Duke in Jimmy V Classic

NEW YORK -- Purdue will face Arizona State and Florida will meet Duke in the 2016 Jimmy V Classic.

The 22nd annual doubleheader will be played Dec. 6 at Madison Square Garden.

The early season event will be part of the 10th annual Jimmy V Week to help raise funds for cancer research in the name of Jimmy Valvano, the former NC State coach who died of cancer in 1993.

ESPN's 2015 Jimmy V Week for Cancer Research raised a record-setting $3.2 million for The V Foundation for Cancer Research -- one million more than the previous fundraising record of $2.
