The first “Reunion” will take place on Dec. 12 and feature South Carolina taking on Seton Hall, as well as Auburn facing off against Boston College.
“Coming together with Madison Square Garden for the first time as an official partner of college basketball gives us such pride as we continue to elevate our brand presence in the sport,” said Nick Carparelli, senior director of college sports for Under Armour, in a statement released today. “We’re thrilled to be part of delivering all of the upcoming collegiate basketball action at The Garden, and look forward to building a long-standing showcase platform with the ‘Reunion’ for the players, teams and fans alike. ”
