UW Huskies men’s basketball to play Tennessee as part of Naismith Classic in Toronto next season

The Washington men’s basketball team is returning to Canada and making a trip to the East Coast for a second straight year.

The Huskies are playing a nonconference game against Tennessee on Nov. 16 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto in a one-day triple header for the James Naismith Classic.

In the other matchups, Buffalo plays Harvard and St. Bonaventure takes on Rutgers.

It will be the first meeting between Washington and Tennessee. The Volunteers advanced to the Sweet 16 and finished with a 31-6 record last season while UW (27-9) made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
