Rutgers women's Basketball Team Booked Again For Jimmy V Classic

The Rutgers women's basketball team will take part in the Jimmy V Women's Basketball Classic for a fourth straight year.


The Scarlet Knights will host Florida on Dec. 7 at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. The game will be televised on ESPN2.

Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said the late Jim Valvano, the former North Carolina State coach for whom the tournament is named, was a dear friend and her team is excited to be chosen to play again.

The event raises money for the V Foundation, which funds cancer research.
