Falcons Set For Men's Basketball Tournament to Open Next Year

The BG News is reporting that the Falcons will get an early test in the Legends Classic for college basketball. It is an odd format, with four teams who could actually win the tournament and four other teams that are, essentially, cannon fodder.  From the BG News:

The Legends Classic is not a typical tournament. Four teams - Syracuse, Michigan, Georgia Tech and UTEP - will be able to play for the championship.

In the first round of the tournament (Nov. 17-21) will be regional action held on the campuses of the four teams mentioned above. The Falcons will have one game in that round.

On. Nov. 26-27, the Falcons will play two second-round games (referred to as the subregional round) at either Detroit or William & Mary. Meanwhile, the four first-round hosts will play a championship bracket.

Anyway, Detroit is a common opponent for us, but William and Mary will probably play in the NIT this year, and Syracuse is obviously a top flight program.  Should be a nice opportunity for our team.
