According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, the Nebraska basketball team is one of eight programs that will participate in the third annual Cayman Islands Classic during the 2019-20 season. The other participants reportedly include South Florida, Loyola-Chicago, New Mexico State, Colorado State, Old Dominion, George Mason and Washington State. Each team will play three games apiece.

The Cayman Islands are a British Territory, located south of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. Last season, the Cayman Islands Classic took place just before Thanksgiving, with games going from Monday, November 19th, to Wednesday, November 21st. Last year, the Creighton Bluejays won it all, by beating Boise State, Georgia State and Clemson.

Although the Big 10 released their conference schedule last week, the full 2018-19 season schedule has not yet been officially announced.
