PROVO — BYU's full 2015-16 men's basketball schedule has yet to be announced.

But the Cougars already received one early-season strength in the 2015 Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii, according to a report.

BYU's first-round matchup at the annual Hawaii-based tournament will come against Harvard, cbssports.com reported Tuesday.

CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein first mentioned the matchups on Twitter.

The Cougars are 1-0 all-time against the Crimson, though the only meeting between the two teams came in 1978.

Head coach Tommy Amaker's team returns 11 players from last season's squad, including former Brighton High guard Corbin Miller. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound junior-to-be has averaged 6.1 points in 18.7 minutes per game over the first two years of his college career.

BYU and Harvard are two of eight teams invited to this year's tournament, joining host Hawaii, Auburn, New Mexico, Northern Iowa, Oklahoma and Washington State. The tourney will be BYU's second-straight in Hawaii after playing in last season's Maui Invitational.

The event is scheduled for Dec. 22-24 at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.
