It’s been more than a few minutes since we knew that Marquette men’s basketball would be participating in the 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament at the Mohegan Sun Casino this coming fall. It’s been nearly two years since Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel dropped that multi-team event info on us, so when Marquette announced their schedule for the tournament on Monday, it wasn’t news that it was happening.
However, it was not confirmed as to who exactly Marquette would be playing in the event. I think we knew that Rhode Island, Minnesota, and UCF would be involved, but I can’t prove that.
