This actually doesn't count as news at all, as apparently this has been out for a couple months. I was looking it up today though, and it was news to me, so there.
Via CBS Connecticut, Tulane men's basketball will bring the following schools to New Orleans (though the dates have not been released):
- UCF
- Cincinnati
- UConn
- Houston
- USF
- Memphis
- SMU*
- Temple
- Tulsa
The two asterisk teams, SMU and East Carolina, will be the only two squads that Tulane will not place twice in the season. The AAC really threw us a bone there.
On the bright side, Tulane students and NOLA locals will get to enjoy some serious talent coming through next season. Obviously having the national championship-winning team come to your house is pretty sick, but SMU, Cinci, Memphis, SMU, and Temple will all be strong draws as well. Of course, Tulsa is coming off of a tournament appearance as well.
If Tulane was looking for a greater national presence, they certainly have found that. This should be the strongest conference schedule since the last breakdown of Conference USA, for sure.
