Used to be 8 team tournament guess they reduced it to get better teams. Schools don’t want to play 3 neutral site games unless it’s a mega tournament.Charleston Classic includes Xavier, Georgia, West Virginia & Clemson so they'll get two good games there.
No it’s still 8 teams but appears they are doing two separate 4 team brackets which is interesting. Other bracket includes BC, Davidson, Tulane and a 4th mid major type team I can’t remember right now. Not sure how it is going to work logistically.Used to be 8 team tournament guess they reduced it to get better teams. Schools don’t want to play 3 neutral site games unless it’s a mega tournament.
Last team is Utah State.No it’s still 8 teams but appears they are doing two separate 4 team brackets which is interesting. Other bracket includes BC, Davidson, Tulane and a 4th mid major type team I can’t remember right now. Not sure how it is going to work logistically.
OK nice to know but my point about only 2 games still stands. More time to sight see in Charleston for everyone.No it’s still 8 teams but appears they are doing two separate 4 team brackets which is interesting.
