Notre Dame Men’s Basketball: Irish to Host Full In-Season Tournament for First Time Ever

The 2018-2019 Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball schedule continues to be built out, as it was announced today that ND will be hosting the 2018 Gotham Classic. This is the first time in program history that the Irish have hosted a full in-season tournament.

The Gotham Classic, which is put on by the Gazelle Group, is a ‘multi-team exempt’ college basketball event, allowing all four contests to count as just one toward the cap of 31 scheduled games on the 2018-19 Notre Dame schedule.

The Illinois-Chicago Flames, Radford Highlanders, and William & Mary Tribe will all visit for the Notre Dame Regional (November 6th-17th), and then Notre Dame and the Duquesne Dukes will play in the Showcase Game on November 20th.
