With blue and gold frosting.
Had to look up where the Emerald Coast is:
NICEVILLE, FLA. Cal, Clemson, Iowa and TCU headline the field for the 2022 Emerald Coast Classic basketball tournament, presented by Global Sports.
The tournament will be played Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 25-26 at Raider Arena on the campus of Northwest Florida State College.
Both Iowa and TCU played in the 2022 NCAA Tournament with the Horned Frogs beating Seton Hall, 69-42, in the first round. TCU fell to top-seeded Arizona, 85-80, in overtime in the second round.
Iowa captured the 2022 Big Ten Conference Tournament championship, tied for fourth in the conference standings and won 26 overall games, the second most win total in a season in program history.
Fran McCaffery has coached Iowa to 20-plus wins eight of the last 10 seasons, including four straight years. The Hawkeyes have competed in the last three NCAA Tournaments and have been ranked in the final Associated Press Poll each of the last three years: No. 16 in 2020, No. 8 in 2021 and No. 25 in 2022.
The Horned Frogs' second NCAA Tournament bid under coach Jamie Dixon was their fourth postseason appearance in the five seasons that postseason was held, the best in program history.
TCU will have all five starters from its 2021-22 team which finished 21-13, its fourth 20-win season in six years under Dixon with a program-record five wins over AP Top 25 teams. TCU surged late with consecutive victories over top-10 opponents in Texas Tech and Kansas to secure a NCAA Tournament berth.
Both Iowa and TCU will be making their second appearance in the Emerald Coast Classic. TCU won the 2017 Emerald Coast Classic title, beating St. Bonaventure in the championship. Iowa played in the 2016 Emerald Coast Classic.
Returning starting forwards Hunter Tyson and PJ Hall will key the fortunes for Clemson, which won five of its last six games to close out the 2021-22 campaign. Brad Brownell is the winningest coach in Clemson history, earning 218 victories in 12 years while guiding the Tigers to the 2021 NCAA Tournament, 2018 Sweet 16, 2011 NCAA Tournament and three NIT appearances.
Mark Fox will enter his fourth season as the head men's basketball coach at Cal and has averaged nearly 19 wins each year in his 17-year coaching career. In previous stops at Nevada and Georgia, Fox has guided teams to five appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Cal boasts 28 postseason appearances, including 19 NCAA Tournament appearances.
"We're excited that we continue to attract teams from the premier basketball conferences in the country," said tournament director Maury Hanks, chief executive officer of Global Sports. "We strive to bring the best college basketball teams possible to the Emerald Coast of Florida."
Game matchups will be announced this summer.

That's some marketing speak! No mention that Cal under Mark Fox has never had a winning record or post-season appearance.

Of Mark Fox's 5 NCAA appearances, 3 were in his first 3 years at Nevada after Trent Johnson took the Stanford job. In the 15 years since 2007, Fox has had 2 NCAA appearances and zero wins, and that does not look to change anytime soon.
Must be the same guy who handles publicity for Buddy Teevans.
Looks like a good trip
Go Bears!
My Bad. Edit: Iowa (26-10). #16 last year. Cal will play two games against either Iowa, Clemson or TCU.
If you don't know who the cupcake is in the pre-season tournament you've been invited to, you're the cupcake.
Have we fallen that far?bluehenbear said:

Iowa and TCU went to the Tournament this year. Clemson will have the most fans in attendance.

Cupcakes are for closers.

NOOOOOOOOO!
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band
