CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Six teams will play in the inaugural Hall of Fame Shootout at Spectrum Arena on Nov. 13, including the Virginia Tech men's basketball team, which will take on Davidson, as announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall Fame on Wednesday.
Game times, ticket information and television broadcast details will be released at a later date. The one-day triple-header will also feature Virginia versus Temple and East Carolina against Liberty.
"We are excited for the Hokies to make the trip to Charlotte for the Hall of Fame Shootout," Tech coach Mike Young said. "It is a tremendous field and a great experience for our student-athletes, as well as a way for us to connect with our strong fan base in the area."
The Hokies own a slim lead in the all-time series against Davidson 20-19, and the two haven't faced off versus each other since 1971, which ironically was in Charlotte as well.
The Basketball Hall of Fame Shootout is one event in the Hall of Fame's series of collegiate events, which continues to grow in an effort to celebrate the game outside the museum walls. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is proud to continue its relationship with Learfield IMG College for sponsorship representation of its portfolio of collegiate events.
As the health and safety of the athletes, fans and staff is of the utmost importance, the Basketball Hall of Fame will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely in the coming months and provide updates as needed.
