Charleston Classic

Just noticed this little tidbit on the bottom of the Charleston bracket:

Non-Bracketed Games: Saint Joseph’s at Connecticut (Nov. 13)

Hi all,

UConn Alumni is holding a pre-game at Carolina Ale House starting three hours before all the games--we've reserved the whole rooftop, which I bet gets you a great view down in Charleston!

ESPN's Charleston Classic Men's Basketball Tournament

72 beers on tap, plus I hear we may be offering Beavers there if you want some Ted's nostalgia down South...

Booked. +5

Here's the bracket. The Tournament Manager told me he lobbied to get UConn in the evening bracket for Thursday and Friday to draw alums from the Carolinas. Looks as if he succeeded. Of course, ESPN will do just about anything to highlight the UConn brand.

Yes, I am missing the final day which sucks but the deal was too good to pass up and I didn't wanna spend $300+. 2 games will satisfy me, lol. See you diehards in Charleston

Stupid expensive, go to air BnB instead. I got a room for $65/night in downtown Charleston.

Any info on when or how the tickets are delivered? I bought mine, but haven't received anything. I didn't even get an email confirmation that I purchased them. But the charge is there on my credit card.

So it's possible we could play Florida twice next year

Tickets are shipped in late July/early August. I was told they should arrive in less than 1 month.

Fried Chicken at Poogan's Porch. It's a very nice sit down meal (check reservations), and the best you will ever have. Start with cocktails in the bar.

The friend chicken you will ever have does not start with reservations imo
