CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported that Notre Dame will be the first men’s basketball opponent when the new DePaul arena opens in fall 2017.

The report, which came out on Wednesday, said that the matchup will be the first in a home-and-home series, which will send the Blue Demons to Notre Dame the season after.

The Blue Demons and Fighting Irish played each other regularly as part of the Big East but have not met in men’s basketball since Notre Dame left the conference in 2013.
