Quick Post: Charleston Classic bracket finalized

The final missing piece to the scheduling puzzle has been put in place.  The Charleston Classic bracket was announced today, and CU has drawn Atlantic-10 power Dayton in the first round.  The Buffs and Flyers will tip-off the tournament at 12:30 on November 15th.  Opening round coverage will be on ESPN3.

Also in the top-half of the bracket, Baylor and Boston College will play for the right to face the winner of the CU/Dayton game.  Murray St, Auburn, Charleston and St. John's reside in the bottom half of the bracket.

Of course the plum in the pudding is the potential second round matchup with Baylor.  There's plenty of bad blood between the Bears and Buffs, and the Tournament game last March did nothing to diffuse the situation.  It's high time that CU finally gets some revenge on those cheating assholes, and November will serve just fine.  Hopefully, CU will slip past Dayton, and get another bite at the Waco apple.

Quick Post: Opening night set

The 2012-13 men's basketball schedule is tentatively complete.  The missing piece?  The Terriers from Wofford University.  Boyle's Boys will tip-off against the Southern Conference power on November 9th.

Honestly, Coach Boyle could've (and has) done a lot worse for his opening night opponent. Wofford has been in the Tournament as recently as 2011, and is a whole hell of a lot better than Ft Lewis (CU's opening night opponent last season).

The challenge from Coach Boyle and the rest of the team is to make the Wofford game a sellout. I figure, if Buff Nation can squeeze out 7,925 for an opener against a D-II opponent last season, than a full 11,064 to greet the defending Pac-12 champions should be no problem come November. Everyone better plan on getting their tickets as soon as they come on sale.

Below is the tentative schedule, with times yet to be determined (ripped from the BDC article). Feature home games include: Air Force (Nov 25th), CSU (Dec 5th), UCLA (Jan 12th), Stanford (Jan 26th), and Arizona (Feb 14th).
