— Arkansas will play Georgia Tech in the NIT Season Tip-Off next season, according to CBS Sports.

Citing sources, CBS Sports reporter Jon Rothstein tweeted the Razorbacks and Yellow Jackets will play at Barclays Center in New York next season. Villanova and Stanford will play in the event's other semifinal game, according to Rothstein.

The semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off are scheduled to be played on Thanksgiving Day. The final will be played on Friday, Nov. 27.

The official tournament bracket has yet to be released.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier this year that Arkansas would participate in the event. Reports have linked Akron, Wisconsin-Green Bay, East Tennessee State and Savannah State to NIT on-campus games.

Arkansas has confirmed nonconference dates next season at Wake Forest (Dec. 4) and Dayton (Dec. 30), and at home against Northwestern State (Dec. 1) and Texas Tech (Jan. 30).
