(Morehead, KY) – The Morehead State men’s basketball team will be taking part in the 2018 2K Classic, benefiting Wounded Warrior Project. The Eagles will travel to Connecticut and Syracuse and also participate in the subregional round at Eastern Washington.
The Eagles will battle the UConn Huskies in Storrs, Conn., on Thursday, Nov. 8 and will play in the Carrier Dome at Syracuse on Saturday, Nov. 10. Game times will be announced later. Morehead State played at UConn in 2005-06. MSU has played Syracuse twice, once being in the 1983 NCAA Tournament at Syracuse and the other in 1987-88 at the Carrier Dome as well.
The subregional round will take place at Eastern Washington where the Eagles will take on UMKC (Missouri-Kansas City) on Nov. 16. Eastern Washington and Green Bay will also be in Cheney, Wash. with the subregional championship and consolation games on Nov. 17. MSU played at Eastern Washington in 2016-17 after postponing the game a year due to winter weather travel difficulties.
Iowa and Oregon are also in the 2K Classic with those two teams plus UConn and Syracuse playing at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 15-16.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
