Men’s Basketball Withdraws From The Basketball Classic

Story Links
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford College men's basketball team has withdrawn from the The Basketball Classic Tournament presented by Eracism. After working diligently with the tournament organizers over the past week, it was determined that it was in the best interest of Wofford to not continue in the event.

The team had received a first-round bye into the second round of the inaugural Basketball Classic Tournament presented by Eracism due to an opponent forfeiture on Monday afternoon as a result of COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

The Terriers were slated to host a second-round matchup in Spartanburg on Friday, March 18, at the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium and had also attempted to play the game on Saturday, March 19. Due to a variety of logistical factors, including last-minute travel issues with potential opponents, a match-up was not able to be finalized by the organizers.

"Our Wofford family did everything in their power to make a postseason opportunity happen for our players and I'm grateful for their efforts," said head coach Jay McAuley. "Our players are disappointed but with time will move on and start preparing for next season."

Will Wofford forfeit the game and YSU move on to the third round? Or is this tournament over?

Is the coach from Bishop Sycamore the commissioner of the tournament. :laugh:

Lol.
I heard from the ESPN+ broadcast that the buy in for the game was $10,000. We at least got two trophies out of it and our guys were able to play another game.

Some of these teams just don't think it's worth it to play these games and I can't really blame them. Depending on hosting costs, travel, they are probably losing money to play games that don't really matter.
