UC basketball is reportedly mixing the Louisville matchup this season into a multi-team event featuring NJIT and Eastern Michigan as well. Field of 68's Jeff Goodman confirmed the event on Monday.

Cincinnati would welcome both schools to Fifth Third Arena in the event across the non-conference slate.

The Louisville matchup is being played at Heritage Bank Center on Nov. 21. The non-conference schedule is starting to take shape with matchups against Xavier, Dayton, Louisville, and more headlining a fun region-matchup-filled slate.
