The ‘Billiken Classic’ Tips November 25
(St. Louis, MO) – During this fast paced time of scheduling and rescheduling of basketball games, the ‘Billiken Classic’ seemingly came out of nowhere. Saint Louis University dropped out of the Nebraska-based multi-team event and created their own.
SLU will host Southern Illinois Edwardsville, LSU and St. Louis College of Pharmacy during the week of Thanksgiving. Similarly, SIUE has pulled out of a Youngstown, Ohio MTE to play closer to home.
Below is the schedule
Wednesday, Nov. 25
Saint Louis vs. SIUE, TBA
Thursday, Nov. 26
SIUE vs. LSU, TBA
Saturday, Nov. 28
Saint Louis vs. LSU, TBA
SIUE vs. University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, TBA
Games will be played without fans. Game times, media coverage and credential information will be announced in the coming days.

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
