The folks at ESPN were all set to unveil tomorrow the opening round pairings for this Thanksgiving’s Old Spice Classic tournament. But, the PDF version of the bracket is live to the public right now, and Creighton’s name is on the top line of the schedule.
That’s right, Jays fans. I hope you don’t mind a little Beilein with your Turkey Day fixings, because Creighton opens the action in Orlando on Thanksgiving Day against the University of Michigan. Tip-off is set for 11:00 a.m. central time.
The Bluejays and Wolverines share a side of the bracket with Xavier and Marquette, two familiar foes. Click here for the entire bracket.
We’ll have more on this match-up later, but I’ll leave you with one unfortunate flashback: remember the last time the Jays and John Beilein met in a tournament setting? Ugh..
