Florida Atlantic headlines Chicago Event

Sources: Chicago to Host Season Opening Doubleheader

The Florida Atlantic Owls will play the hometown Loyola-Chicago Ramblers and Mississippi State will face Arizona State in an event that we expect to be sponsored by Barstool Sports, multiple sources told Bracketeer.Org.

Games will be held in Chicago’s Wintrust Arena on Wednesday Night, November 8th.

FAU brings back its entire team besides Michael Forrest in 2023-24. This game will likely serve as the first of many tests for the 23-24 Owls. The Ramblers are looking to erase a forgettable 22-23 campaign by knocking off a Top 25 opponent on the big stage.

Mississippi State recently got great news as Tolu Smith returns to the Bulldogs. Early projections suggest this is a Top 25-level roster. The ASU Sun Devils are no strangers to big events. Coach Hurley and the guys will be ready for a big game against SEC-level competition to open the season.

There is no timetable for an official announcement.
