2K Classic field set for MSG in New York on Nov. 16-17
Just announced this morning that we'll be taking part in the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden in November. Joining the Hokies will be Providence, Washington, Saint Louis, Belmont, Detroit Mercy, Houston Baptist, and Seattle. As part of the Classic, the Hokies will host two regional games in Cassell before heading north and playing in New York on November 16th and 17th.
Looks like a pretty good opportunity for us to get in some winnable games against some not terrible RPI opponents, and I believe these games are all broadcast on ESPN, so it should provide a little early season hype for the program. And before you ask, I didn't make that headline up about us highlighting the field... That's actually how ESPN describes it on their link on their main basketball page.
For clarity, I have been trying to read up on how this event works, and it seems to be as follows:
VT, Providence, Washington, and Saint Louis will each play host to two of Belmont, Detroit Mercy, Houston Baptist, and Seattle. After those games are over, VT, Providence, Washington, and Saint Louis will move on to play at MSG on Thursday, November 16th and Friday, November 17th in a 4 team tournament while Belmont hosts the others in their own "sub-regional" tournament. At the very least we should get 2 quality opponents out of the games in MSG alone. Could be a pretty fun weekend if you can plan for it.
