One of the better year in and year out MTE Tourneys. I wouñd put it below Atlantis, Portland, Maui and maybe a few others but definitely one of the better one's. And the field looks real good especially with an LSU or A&M in the field with those others.
Went last time we played in Charleston Classic, great city with lot's to do, nice cozy 5,000 seat arena and this one is shaping up to have a much better field. We had a few people there but my other alma mater Dayton had about 1,000. Gonna start workin the wife for a return trip but don't think I'll have to work too hard as it was an enjoyable vacation the last time.
Yeah Nathalie is giving me no pushback on this one
No Providence, lol. Easy Ed sure loves his games in Queens!!
I assume if you asked a current player who was recruited to “play in the Mecca” he would opt to play a fifth game at MSG even if against PC. The more exposure there the better and this is what was sold to kids. Moot now, but really need to raise the MSG bar within reason going forward. I have beat the dead horse enough I know.I don't see the point in playing Georgetown in the Garden these days
They haven't been very good for awhile
It's not the '80's anymore and nobody comes to MSG to see Patrick Ewing these days
We'd be better served to play Creighton at the Garden
But very glad to see that the Providence game is at CA
I was down in Charleston about 10 years back for a wedding and really didn't get chance to see everything I wanted to but enjoyed my time there. Wouldn't mine going back and this would be a good excuse.

It’s the week before Thanksgiving which makes it easier than the Atlantis which is over Thanksgiving. Easier to convince the wife as she loves Thanksgiving as a family holiday although she loves warm weather which is how I was able to convince her to go to the Bahamas the last time we played in the Atlantis Tournament.bamafan wrote:
If you go in December you will miss the tournament
LOl, I was (mis)reading the part underneath about the 2023 tourney being played in December in Charlotte. If the Charleston one is around Thanksgiving that would be problematic for me as we always have our kids visiting then.
Spot on--it's about the Benjamins, since we have to pay rental to MSG, we need to cover.
The Creighton fans travel extremely well. They are going to be ranked very high this year. I was at the Garden the year we played them there. I believe it was Doug McDermott’s last year. There was a good crowd at the Garden. If we wind up getting ranked this season and they’re a Top 10 team, they will have to find a way to move that game to the Garden.
