The USC Trojans, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Texas Tech Red Raiders and Missouri State Bears will be headlining the 2018 CBE Classic in Kansas City, multiple sources have informed FanRag Sports. However, despite the fact that the aforementioned quartet of programs has been tabbed to participate in 2018, both the official dates and matchups surrounding the annual event have yet to be determined.

 

This year’s slate will feature a doubleheader that pits the Baylor Bears against the Wisconsin Badgers alongside the UCLA Bruins versus the Creighton Bluejays — both of which will take place on November 20. It is also worth noting that the winners and losers of each matchup will then play each other the very next day.

Looks like the same thing.  Though I'm not quite sure how it all works now.

 

Merged threads.

Nebraska is playing the in the "Hall of Fame Classic" in Kansas City right around Thanksgiving time.

 

Does anyone know who plays in it? It's supposedly 4 games there.

Last year it was Wisconsin, Baylor, Creighton, UCLA... Not sure how that makes 4 games though.

I think it's 4 total games, 2 per team.  Win the 1st you're in the championship, otherwise you're playing for 3rd.

 

Edit: Actually it looks like some games prior to that weekend count towards the classic... more at the link:

I can't find anything on teams playing in it for 2018, but I assume if Nebraska is in it they'll host games the first weekend and then be in KC for the second weekend.

Nebrasketball: Huskers to Play in CBE Classic in 2018

Huskers will head down I-29 in ‘18

 

 

 

This is from the 2018-2019 Schedule Thread

 

 

They get 4 games at CBE Classic:

     2 middle of the road or bad mid-majors at home during 1st weekend (last year Central Arkansas, Alcorn State, Yale, SC State were in it)

     2 out of the 3 (USC, Texas Tech, or Missouri State) in Kansas City

The Hall of Fame Classic has four teams in Kansas City (Nov. 19-20) with Missouri State, Nebraska, Texas Tech and USC. Here’s how they should be seeded: 1. Nebraska; 2. Texas Tech; 3. USC; 4. Missouri State. The Huskers ideally would like to play both Texas Tech and USC to help its cause. But Nebraska should be the top seed and play Missouri State, a game Nebraska has to win to get either Texas Tech or USC. Texas Tech and USC are going to have plenty of opportunities this season. Nebraska will too in the Big Ten, but non-conference misses last season cost the Huskers.

Hopefully we match up with Texas Tech. Would be a quality opponent and we'd get to see USD's Mooney play.
