We haven’t heard much about the Legends Classic in a few weeks. Just that Pitt was a likely participant. Jeff Goodman at FoxSports.com, has this today.
The word I’m getting is that the four teams in the Legends Classic will be Pittsburgh, Mississippi State, Washington State and Texas Tech.
Those would be the “host” teams for the opening round. The participating teams are not known. From a competitive standpoint, this actually looks like a great little tournament. From a buzz creator, well, no. Assuming Pitt makes it to the Prudential Center in New Jersey, they will be school most likely to travel well.
Looks like the campus rounds will be on November 20-23 and the games in NJ on November 28 and 29.
Brilliant. The Backyard Brawl is November 28. Hmmm. Looks like that noontime start may not be such a bad thing.
