Charleston Classic Sched

“@ESPNCharleston: @STJ_Basketball, who do you want to meet on the hardwood first in the #ESPNCharlestonClassic? Stay tuned- #bracket posted tomorrow at noon!”

I heard it was Charleston.  Lets see if what I was told is right.  Otherwise everyone can drag me thru the coals

Agree on that, but the bracket is of more interest to me.

 I hope it is an easy road to the final. very few stayed up to watch the great alaska shootout, but it was awesome. It was such long time since we won something. It also gave the team a great amount of confidence going into the season. Those announcers were also entertaining

No easy road IMO.

My guess is they will try to set up a semi-final of some combination of SJU v Colorado and Baylor v Murray St or SJU v Murray St and Baylor v Colorado etc.

But the organizers will probably try to get the most favorable matchups for those 4 teams so as to make it easy as possible that you get those 4 in the semi's.

Colorado is no slouch either.

For our RPI, I'd really like to see us go up against Murray State and Baylor.
That would be great for cred, and it would show the new guys what they can expect in the BE.

Colorado I know very little about. How good are they?

They played in the Tournament last year.

I'll take a stab:

SJU vs. Boston College

Murray St vs. Dayton

Baylor vs. Charleston

Colorado vs. Auburn

Just a guess.

Not only that, they beat UNLV  in The first round and lost to Baylor in the second round.  I think they might have even been PAC-12 champs?

They won Pac12 tourney.

We do owe Boston college a beat down

Well I did not get any of the matchups correct.  LOL!!!

SJU vs. C of C

Murray St v Auburn

Bayor v BC

Colorado v Dayton.

Did get the semifinal bracketing right.  If SJU, Murray St, Baylor and Colorado all win then the semi's set up as SJU v Murray St. and Baylor v Colorado.  Colorado and Dayton in retrospect makes sense.  Dayton was an NIT team and you could easily see them instead of Colorado in the semis so why not match them up.

I win!

I want that matchup against Baylor 

Not that it matters, but what does "non-bracketed games: Auburn v. BC (Nov 21) & Charleston v. Baylor (Nov 24)" mean on the bottom of the bracket as the tournament runs 11/15 - 11/18?

Just independent games those teams happen to be playing.

Appparently because those are two games that are already scheduled that could result in rematches from the Charleston Classic.  This is from the Auburn site:

In the Charleston Classic Finale on Nov. 21, Auburn will play at Boston College in Chesnut Hill, Mass., while Baylor will play College of Charleston on Nov. 24. Boston College will make a return trip to Auburn during the 2013-14 season.

ESPN3 only for the possible semi vs Murray St? LAME!

Maybe it could get picked up by an espn regional/SNY/MSG type deal.
