MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. –– The Tulsa men's basketball team will be one of eight programs to compete in the Fourth Annual Myrtle Beach Invitational during the 2022-23 men's college basketball season, ESPN Events announced today.
Tulsa will be joined by Boise State, Charlotte, Colorado, Loyola of Chicago, Texas A&M and UMass with an eighth school to be announced at a later date. The tournament takes place November 17-20 at the HTC Center on the campus of Coastal Carolina University.
All games will be televised across the ESPN networks during Feast Week.
A LOOK AT THE FIELD…
Boise State returns to the HTC Center after placing runner-up to Iowa State when the same venue hosted the 2017 Puerto Rico Tipoff. The Broncos, with a 24-7 overall record and the Mountain West Conference's regular-season, hope to continue the MWC's success in Myrtle Beach after Utah State captured the 2021 trophy.
Charlotte is among the top teams in Conference USA this season with a 17-13 record and previously captured the title at ESPN Events' 2013 Puerto Rico Tipoff.
Colorado of the Pac-12 is in the midst of 20-win season, including a recent upset of then No. 2 Arizona. The Buffaloes previously won the championship at ESPN Events' 2012 Charleston Classic.
Loyola Chicago of the Missouri Valley Conference has a 25-7 record and secured its eighth NCAA berth Sunday by defeating Drake in the post-season finale in Saint Louis. The Ramblers had pair of memorable NCAA Tournament appearances in recent years (2021: Sweet 16; 2018: Final Four). Loyola will be competing in their first-ever in-season event sanctioned by ESPN Events. Their participation in the 2020 Myrtle Beach Invitational was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Texas A&M of the SEC is also in the midst of a 20-win season. The Aggies placed second at ESPN Events' 2016 Wooden Legacy in California.
Tulsa of the American Athletic Conference and UMass of the Atlantic 10 are no strangers to in-season ESPN Events tournaments. The Golden Hurricane competed in the 2017 Puerto Rico Tipoff in Myrtle, advancing to the semifinals, while the Minutemen captured the 2013 Charleston Classic.
