Gophers will play in 4-team Charleston Classic

[SelectionSunday]

Likely the Palmetto Bracket with game dates of November 20 & 22.

We can safely assume Oklahoma State and Utah (both Big XII) will not be in the same tournament.

Hopefully they get a couple of decent games there!

Best news of the day! I'm a Charleston Gopher these days and have gone to the tournament before. The arena is small, but great seats are nearly always available. Charleston is a fun - if expensive - town to visit. Hope to see a bunch of Gophers here!

Quads based on last season NET rankings:

Dayton (Quad 2)
Oklahoma State (Quad 2)
Virginia Tech (Quad 2)
Utah (Quad 3)

Seems appropriate and challenging competition with blending in 9,10,11 new guys...what ever the number.

I feel like my entire life has been a lie. “Scottsdale Gopher”… wait do I even go to Drake anymore?!?

Are there still rules for these early season tournaments that you can only play in them so often? Or can you play in one every year if you want?

College basketball has rules?

College basketball has rules?

Maybe only Cleveland State

And now Detroit, too!

Banned from 2027 postseason for APR shortcomings. ... ridiculous.

Hey that's only a couple hours from me! I may get to see my Gophers in person for the first time.

Northwestern makes it six teams committed to Charleston Classic. Two spots left to fill.

 

[SelectionSunday]

Northwestern and Oklahoma State reportedly will play a non-conference game in Oklahoma City, so presumably that would put them in opposite tournaments in Charleston.

So safe assumption now would be the Gophers paired with Oklahoma State (and two others) and Northwestern paired with Utah (and two others).

Ironically we've played non conference games with a few of these teams in recent years (Okie St, Utah, Va Tech)

Regarding non-con, is that accurate? I may be misremembering, but didn't we schedule Gardner Webb super late? Like a month before the season?

I'm really hoping we schedule some real games beyond the Charleston tourney. Play a road game if you have to!
