Earlier this week, we got wind that Villanova would be facing Western Michigan in the first game of the Charleston Classic. Today we got further details on the Tournament including tip times and TV. The defending national champion Villanova Wildcats will open up against the Broncos at 11:30a on Thursday, November 17th. The game will be aired on ESPN2.
Additionally, a new out-of-conference game with the College of Charleston Cougars noted at the bottom of the press release has been set as a 'Nova home game for November 23rd. This game is essentially a bonus game as exempt "preseason" tournaments allow four games (to count as one); the game against the Cougars would be that included game.
