Davidson will play in the 2009 Aeropostale Holiday Festival Dec. 20-21, according to a university release. Joining them in the nation’s longest-running holiday tournament at Madison Square Garden will be Cornell, Hofstra and St. John’s.
It will be the second time in as many seasons that the MSG tournament features the Wildcats. Last season, Davidson beat West Virginia 68-65 in the Jimmy V Classic. The Wildcats went 27-8 in 2008-09 and made the NIT’s second round.
“The last few years, our schedule has put us in a position to receive exposure on a national stage, and the competition has given us the opportunity to become a better program,” coach Bob McKillop said. “Madison Square Garden is perhaps the greatest stage in the world, and this will provide a significant challenge for us as we continue to work towards being a consistently successful program.”
