Indiana, Syracuse to meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Nov. 9
The programs will meet for the first time since Syracuse eliminated Indiana in the 2013 Sweet Sixteen.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse already has a regular-season college basketball game on the schedule for the upcoming season.
Indiana and Syracuse men’s basketball teams will play on Monday, Nov. 9.
The matchup was previously reported, but it is now official. Tipoff time will be determined by television schedules. The event is being hosted by Complete Sports Management.
IU narrowly beat the Orange 74-73 in the 1987 NCAA Championship game. Keith Smart sank the game-winning basket — a jumper from the left short corner — with four seconds left. The game was played at the Louisiana Superdome.
These two programs last met in the 2013 Sweet Sixteen, with Syracuse winning 61-50.
