The Tigers have been invited to participate in the Progressive Legends Classic, a four-game event featuring two games early in November in Baton Rouge and then two games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Nov. 23-24 - the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
The opponents are not known yet, but the Legends Classic perennially draws a solid field. The four teams that played in Brooklyn last month were Villanova, VCU, Michigan and Oregon, with the Wildcats claiming the tournament crown.

Nunez said a home-and-home is set with Wake Forest starting next season, with the first game likely in Baton Rouge. He said he and third-year coach Johnny Jones are also working on home-and-home series with two other power-five opponents, one that Nunez deemed 'high-profile.'

I want Duke or UNC.

Much needed. Especially when we're normally hoping to be a bubble team...we need our RPI and SOS to be higher than it bas been in the past.

I like it. Hopefully the high-profile opponent is along the lines of a Duke, UNC or Kansas type.
Posted on 12/12/14 at 8:46 am to TigerCub
I would expect "high profile" means either Duke or Kansas. Simmons can help us win those.

Finally! This is exciting news.

Nah. Don't want to get embarrassed. Mickey will be gone after he turns pro and Martin is probably gone too. We will be rebuilding next year.

I don't think Duke really does home and homes any more. Most of their big non-conference games are at neutral sites.

Next year could be either good or great, depending on what Mickey and Martin do
I think Mickey is long gone, but we have a chance, albeit less than a 50% one, of keeping Martin, but IF we do, oh boy...
PG - SR. Josh Gray
SG - FR. Antonio Blakeney (Yeah I'm jumping the gun)
SF - FR. Ben Simmons
PF - JR. Jarell Martin
C - SO. Elbert Robinson
Bench
PG Tim Quarterman
PG Jayln Patterson
CG Dominic Magee
SG Keith Hornsby
PF Aaron Epps
PF Brian Bridgewater
C Darcy Malone
Plus 1 more guy, hopefully, honestly we could use another big

This is what getting the top recruit in the country does for you. Finally multiple bigtime teams coming to the pmac.
a key line from the article: When we're working on games and scheduling, a lot of that depends on relationships between the coaches and between the administrators and how comfortable people are dealing with each other
a lot of big name coaches applauded the johnny jones hire at the time. looks like that may finally help with scheduling.

They still do occasionally, they've got one with St. John's right now. But yeah, outside of that and the ACC/B1G challenge, most of their non-cupcakes are neutral. KU and UNC seem more willing to travel.

I think there's a better chance that Mickey stays.

Theirs not alot of need for 6'7 power forwards in the NBA that can't really shoot, and if their weren't a really good chance of them staying what would be the point of Simmons coming here?

That dude will be the Lebron of college basketball next year. He'll turn chicken poop into chicken salad.

I'm honestly not sure what games you've been watching.
Martin has zero jump shot right now, Mickey at least has a mid range game.

Martin is 6'10 and athletic as hell the NBA is all about this, mickey doesn't have a nba position he's undersized
