LSU basketball to open against Dayton in Charleston Classic

The Tigers are returning to the Charleston Classic for the first time since 2011.

The Tigers already knew they were heading to South Carolina from Nov. 16-19 to take part in the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic, and now they know their bracket, as well.

LSU will open against Dayton on Nov. 16 at TD Arena. Coach Matt McMahon’s team will face off against either St. John’s or North Texas the following day. That opening matchup will be televised on ESPN2 at 3 p.m. CT.

This will be the Tigers’ second all-time trip to the Charleston Classic. They went 2-1 at the event in 2011.

Regardless of the results in the tournament, LSU will face three opponents with Houston, Towson, Utah and Wake Forest rounding out the field. The two unbeaten teams will face off in the championship on Nov. 19.
