The ‘Billiken Classic’ Tips November 25
(St. Louis, MO) – During this fast paced time of scheduling and rescheduling of basketball games, the ‘Billiken Classic’ seemingly came out of nowhere. Saint Louis University dropped out of the Nebraska-based multi-team event and created their own.
SLU will host Southern Illinois Edwardsville, LSU and St. Louis College of Pharmacy during the week of Thanksgiving. Similarly, SIUE has pulled out of a Youngstown, Ohio MTE to play closer to home.
Below is the schedule
Wednesday, Nov. 25
Saint Louis vs. SIUE, TBA
Thursday, Nov. 26
SIUE vs. LSU, TBA
Saturday, Nov. 28
Saint Louis vs. LSU, TBA
SIUE vs. University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, TBA
Games will be played without fans. Game times, media coverage and credential information will be announced in the coming days.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
