After finding out Maryland basketball will match up with Butler in the Gavitt Games, another early season non-conference matchup for the Terps has been revealed.

Jon Rothstein of FanRagSports reported Tuesday that Maryland will face St. Bonaventure in the 2017 Emerald City Classic. The tournament runs from Nov. 24-25 in Niceville, Florida, and the Terps will face either the winner or loser of a matchup between TCU and New Mexico in the following round.

St. Bonaventure brings back DMV native and Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Jalen Adams. Like incoming Maryland guard Darryl Morsell, Adams is an alum of Mount Saint Joseph’s in Baltimore.
