Vandy hoops to play in Miami quadruple-header

The Vanderbilt men's basketball team didn't pull off enough big non-conference victories last season, losing to the likes of USC, Virginia, Seton Hall, Kansas State and Arizona State, among others. The Commodores will get an early opportunity in 2018-19 to record a good win outside the Southeastern Conference.

Vanderbilt will face the ACC's North Carolina State Dec. 1 in the fourth annual Hoophall Miami Invitational, which will take place at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami. The Commodores and Wolfpack will be a part of a one-day, quadruple-header event that will also feature Miami, Yale, Georgia Tech, St. John’s, Texas Tech and Memphis.
