MTSU men's hoops to face three SEC teams in 2017-18

MTSU will face a demanding non-conference men's basketball schedule next season, highlighted by three games against SEC opponents as well as several difficult matchups in the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii.

The Blue Raiders, coming off a 31-5 season a second consecutive victory in the NCAA tournament, will travel to Vanderbilt, host Ole Miss and play Auburn at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

"Three games against Power Five teams is great for us, but also having one at home, one on the road and one at a neutral site is a really great mixture, and I truly believe that all three of these teams will be NCAA Tournament teams," MTSU coach Kermit Davis said.
