Huge Men's Basketball News!

Big news found on the web for BG Basketball.  The Falcons are going to play---and be a host!!--in the CBE Classic, a November exempt tournament.  This is a little bit like what went on at Calihan Hall last year...four teams (BG, George Washington, Austin Peay, and Detroit) will play a round-robin set of games at the Stroh Center.  Games will be November 21-23.

That will be proceeded by a game @Georgia on November 13 that will be on ESPNU.

This is like the tournament last year in that it is not a tournament we can advance in, but getting onto national TV and then having 3 games on our home floor against D1 opponents is a pretty exciting coup.  Great job to the people who made this happen, and I'm looking very forward to it.
