Some interesting scheduling news in the article. I knew about 2016, but not 2017
Quote:Haase has noted UAB's difficulties in scheduling "name" opponents, but UAB has been able to play in a November tournament in each of his four seasons. That continues next season as UAB is at Kansas City for the NABC Hall of Fame Classic with Kansas, California and George Washington and plays in the first Cayman Islands Tournament in 2017, an eight-team tournament.
Here is more info about that tournament
