Looks like Marquette will be participating in another highly contested non-conference tournament next year.
According to Jon “This is March” Rothstein and a press release from ESPN Events, Marquette will join Kansas, Louisville, and Tennessee in headlining the 2018 NIT Tip Off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This should be an event with four NCAA tournament caliber squads.
Kansas, if you recall, wound up landing Quentin Grimes last week along with fellow 5 star recruit Devon Dotson. They will be stacked as always, and Marquette is 1-6 all time against the Jayhawks.
