After hosting two home games in the preliminary rounds of the South Padre Invitational, the University of Iowa's men's basketball team will meet Bradley University Friday, Nov. 23 at the South Padre Convention Center on South Padre Island.
Along with the Iowa vs. Bradley match-up, Vanderbilt will meet Utah State that same day in South Padre. The tournament concludes with a pair of games on Saturday, Nov. 24. The opponents and dates for the early round games in Iowa City have not yet been finalized. Iowa's complete 2007-08 schedule is expected to be released in August.
"We know the two games on South Padre Island will be against good basketball teams," said Iowa Coach Todd Lickliter. "All three of the teams there had successful seasons a year ago and have well-established programs. Vanderbilt was in the Sweet 16 last season and Bradley advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2006. Playing in an exempt event gives us the opportunity to play additional games against strong competition in a tournament atmosphere."
