The Dayton Flyers will play Memphis on Sunday, Nov. 29, at Nationwide Arena in Columbus.
The site of the game was announced on Thursday, Aug. 6, while news of the matchup broke in March. The time of the game and ticket information will be announced at a later date.
The game is part of the inaugural Atlantic 10/American Showcase on ESPN. Saint Louis, the defending A-10 regular-season champion, will play South Florida, the defending American Conference regular-season and tournament champion, in the first game. The Dayton-Memphis matchup will follow.
This collaboration presents a tremendous opportunity for Atlantic 10 teams to compete against quality opponents on a neutral floor before a national audience," A10 Commissioner Dan Leibovitz said in a press release. "We appreciate our media partner, ESPN, and the American Conference for coming together to create a unique event with meaningful scheduling value. This collaboration will strengthen our league's non-conference profile and improve our NCAA Tournament positioning.
According to the A-10, "Future editions of the event will rotate participating schools and host locations within the Atlantic 10 and American Conference footprints. As part of the multi-year agreement, additional participating schools and host sites will be announced later."
