I think this deserves it’s own thread. There was some discussion on the schedule thread on pages 6-8. We are a month and a half out from this tournament which was announced in July. Does anyone know where the games will be played; where the team is staying; are there any fan packages for the tournament, etc. Basically anything to help with planning a trip, etc. Thanks. —————- Here is the basic information released in July: Official GoPurpleAces announcement/story: Cancellation of Las Vegas Holiday Classic alters men’s basketball schedule gopurpleaces.com/news/2023/7/21/mens-basketball-cancellation-of-las-vegas-holiday-classic-alters-mens-basketball-schedule.aspxNovember 24th: vs Chattanooga November 25th: vs Southeast Missouri State Games times are 1 pm CST (2 pm EST). |

Just got off the phone with Logan and the game times are 1 pm CST (2 pm EST).
Unfortunately there is no special hotel rate.
Should be great time/experience with the Aces faithful.

Realizing that with this being a three game tournament that Evansville will be at a disadvantage against SEMO; and that SEMO will be at a disadvantage when they play UT Chattanooga.
That is, on Friday we play UTC; then on Saturday a rested SEMO team plays us while UTC is off. Then SEMO plays a back to back against a rested UTC team on Sunday.
Hopefully we can play a lot of guys in an opening win over UTC in the first game. We all know how wore out our short-handed team was last year in the MTE.

Confirmed tonight via DJ and Tanner himself that Tanner has three years of eligibility due to his hand injury last year. More good news today.

Does Ben only have 1 year Not sure but if he was in at the time of Covid he would have 2. But I am probably wrong |
