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.

Kim English crashed out on Twitter last night about this article for some odd reason and then deleted his account
I don’t know, do you think he’ll win BEPOY as a freshmanSmart kid. Maybe we can steal him in a year![]()
I like Kim English, I didn’t see his Twitter rant did he go off the wall? Deleting Twitter is probably a smart move for most people.English strikes me as a very edgy, irritable and blameful guy. He better look in the mirror, tone down and coach his team or he won’t last at PC.
I would take the other side of that bet.I like Kim English, I didn’t see his Twitter rant did he go off the wall? Deleting Twitter is probably a smart move for most people.
I think he is going to get Providence back to 20 wins and competing for NCAA berths.
I think they got some solid guards in the portal and expect Oswin to take a big jump (high on him).... 20 wins is still a solid mark...I like Kim English, I didn’t see his Twitter rant did he go off the wall? Deleting Twitter is probably a smart move for most people.
