Gophers men’s basketball boosts nonconference schedule in ESPN Events Invitational

The Gophers men’s basketball team was hurt by a poor nonconference schedule last season. It contributed to the Gophers heading to the NIT instead of earning an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament.

Minnesota addressed its nonconference slate on Thursday, announcing it will play in the ESPN Events Invitational on Nov. 28-29 at State Farm Field House in Kissimmee, Fla.

The four-team field includes Florida, Wake Forest and Wichita State. Matchups, game times and TV times will be announced at a later date.

The Gophers went 19-15 overall last season, a 10-win improvement from two years ago. The U reached the second round of the NIT last March before falling to top overall seed Indiana State.
