The Louisiana Tech Men’s Basketball team will be one of four programs taking part in the “Icons of the Game” event on Nov. 13 with the Bulldogs facing the UMass Minutemen.
The neutral site contest will take place at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York with LA Tech and UMass being the first contest of a doubleheader, tipping off at 5 p.m. CT followed by Seton Hall versus Hofstra.
This will be the first ever meeting between the Bulldogs and Minutemen on the hardwood. Both programs are coming off 20+ win seasons.
The event features teams led by minority head coaches with an emphasis on celebrating the participating coaches and recognizing the impact of legends such as John McLendon, Clarence “Big House” Gaines, John Thompson II, John Chaney, Vivian Stringer, Marian Washington, and others.
