Lucky Me! Mountaineers Play in Anaheim 76 Classic

Can you believe my good luck?! I love college basketball and have already been scouting out all the D-1 teams in the region here, hoping to catch a game at schools like St Marys, Santa Clara, Sacramento State, etc., and of course Fresno State. Fun, fun. I didn't figure on seeing any games with my WVU Mountaineers.

As I was recently perusing the basketball schedule for WVU, I saw they were playing in a Thanksgiving tournament at the Anaheim Convention Center. It's called the 76 Classic. That got my attention.

Now get this! Believe it or not, we had already agreed to be in the Los Angeles area over Thanksgiving weekend. What a confluence of events!

The Mounties are playing in a pretty cool tourney, one sponsored by ESPN. WVU is ranked #8 in the preseason poll. Here are the other teams in the field:

Butler, ranked #11
Clemson, #24
Long Beach State, unranked
Minnesota, unranked
Portland, unranked
Texas A&M, unranked
UCLA, unranked

WVU starts off against Long Beach State. Assuming they win, they would likely play Clemson. If they can win that one, they would probably play Butler or UCLA in the finals. As Jericho would say, "Coolio!"

I'm speaking at Pepperdine 4 times that weekend for a youth event. But it appears that none of my talks will interfere with WVU games. L-U-C-K-Y!
