twitter comment from www.insidethehall.com

As a follow up to IU-Pitt game at MSG, we hear it's part of a doubleheader that will also feature Georgetown vs. Butler.

Hey Georgetown Fan here. We will in fact be playing you guys in the Jimmy V Classic. Our coach stated so during a recent charity event. I can't wait this is going to be a great match up. Your team is going to be very good and it will be hard to get a win in NY for us. We're hoping to rebound from a disappointing season. We have a lot of returning talent, so we'll see how things play out. I'll probably stop back when the season starts discuss the match up. It's a slow off...

Staxawax, perhaps you are the one who needs to do some research. Just because you are in Indiana doesn't mean you have to believe the hype about this "great" recruiting class IU allegedly has.

Can anyone confirm IU's particpation in the game as well?

Regarding their recruiting class, team rankings as a whole are pointless considering these guys have not played one game of college basketball together yet. IU is "ranked" 10th this season.

2005 team rankings

North Carolina's class of 2005 was ranked 9th. What did...

I actually rec'd an email today about this from the university. We're starting to consider alumni events in the city for the remainder of the year and the email confirmed we are playing at the garden on the 8th.

Enjoying the riveting football discussion, but does anyone have any new information on the original impetus of this thread? Confirmed participation? Confirmed date? Love to lock in a hotel with credit card points before its too late!

Why would they put IU in this field just to see them get blown off the court? Gtown and/or Pitt will still smash them. IU is 2 years away from being watchable.

Really! I would do some more research on Pitt and IU before I made that statement.

Butler is in the Jimmy V Classic in early December. We will play either Pittsburgh or Georgetown. The UNC Butler game is not happening. My source is 100% in the know. I believe the date will be around December 8. Bank on this rumor.
