Huskers to play in Florida tournament next season

The eight-team field for the 2017 tournament – to be held Thursday, Friday and Sunday, Nov. 23, 24 and 26, at HP Field House at ESPN Wide World of Sports near Orlando, Fla. – will include Long Beach State, Marist, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon State, St. John’s, UCF and West Virginia.

The 2017 appearance will mark the Huskers’ first-ever appearance in the AdvoCare Invitational and the fourth ESPN-sponsored tournament in the last five seasons.

For Husker fans, the field features a potential matchup with an old rival, as the Huskers and Missouri could meet for the first time since Nebraska joined the Big Ten.
