Athletic director Patrick Nero took to Twitter today to release information about the upcoming men’s basketball non conference schedule, including three high-profile opponents who will travel to Foggy Bottom over the next two years.

Kansas State, who the Colonials faced this year, Rutgers and Georgia are all on the books to compete in the Smith Center over the next two seasons, Nero tweeted.

Rutgers and Georgia are likely both home-and-home contracts, as Nero added in a later tweet that GW would head to both programs in the upcoming season. Notre Dame, Bradley, VCU, Boston University and JMU are all also non-conference road games for the Colonials next year, Nero added.

Toward the top of his priority list when constructing a schedule, the athletic director told a follower, are “high-level games and games in cities with a large @GWAlumni base.”
