It doesn't appear as though the Big 4 Classic will be returning to KeyBank Center in downtown Buffalo, but the Big 4 schools will square off against each other in the Fall.
Niagara, which is looking to bounce back from a 7-25 campaign, opens the Big 4 slate on the road against St. Bonaventure (20-12 in 2016-2017 season) on Nov. 11.
A day later, it's a clash between the UB Bulls and Canisius. In their first meeting since Reggie Witherspoon was named head coach of the program, Witherspoon and the Griffs edged the Bulls 94-87 in overtime.
