"We're very excited to be a part of the Crossover Classic at the Sanford Pentagon in South Dakota," said Hopkins. "As a program, we have prided ourselves in building a strong non-conference schedule, and this event is exactly on par with that mindset. It will be a great early season test for us in a unique venue. South Dakota has amazing basketball fans and we're looking forward to being a part of this event."

This year's field includes University of Nevada, South Dakota State University and George Mason University. The four teams have a combined 37 NCAA Tournament appearances and 10 trips to the Sweet 16.
