How strange. Why would Kansas and Syracuse play in Miami? I wonder if there is a new pre-season basketball tournament starting there in 2017?
On the topic of pre-season basketball tournaments, Syracuse still hasn't committed to playing in one during the 2016-17 season. There were all sorts of options to play in one in NYC, including the pre-season NIT, which we are finally eligible to play in again (we last played in that tournament in 2012). But it looks like we opted to skip them all. I am kind of mystified...we are apparently not very interested in playing in the Garden, or even Brooklyn anymore.
I wonder why? If I lived in the greater NYC metro area, I would not be a happy camper.
Could also be that our upgraded OOC schedule, with G'town, St. John's, Villanova and, possibly, UConn means that JB not too keen to pile on even more tough OOC games through a pre-season tourney...Just a guess.
