On Tuesday, the Gazelle Group announced the pairings and schedule for the Abe Lemons Classic at the Erwin Center this fall as the Texas Longhorns host three opponents to honor the legendary head coach.
The week-long event will feature games against Northern Colorado on Nov. 17, San Jose State on Nov. 20, and California Baptist on Nov. 24. The three visitors will play each other as well.
“We are excited to compete in an event which will honor the legacy of the late Coach Abe Lemons, one of the best coaches in the history of college basketball and a member of the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor,” Texas head coach Chris Beard said in a statement released by the school.
