The Wildcats head South this week to face the Western Michigan Broncos in a Thursday matinee that will kick off the 2016 Charleston Classic in Charleston, South Carolina. The tournament will also feature Wake Forest, Texas-El Paso, Mississippi State, UCF, Boise State, and the hometown College of Charleston.
The Broncos, out of the MAC (#MACtion!), are looking to rebound from a disappointing 2015-2016. Western Michigan finished 13-19 (7-10) and lost 11 games by six points or less. Plagued by injuries all year, the team bowed out of the first round of the MAC tournament and were not invited to any postseason tournaments.
