Kansas to play in 2014 Old Spice Classic

Time to book your flights. Earlier this week, Kansas announced their plans for the 2015 Maui Invitational. Today, Kansas announced that they will be participating in the 2014 Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Florida.

And they’ll be headed to Florida with a bunch of great other teams, too. Georgia Tech, Marquette, Michigan State, Tennessee, Xavier, Rider and Santa Clara join the Jayhawks. Tennessee and Xavier are currently in Kansas’ tournament down in the Bahamas, although unlikely they will play KU.

I wonder if Bill Self will appear in a Old Spice commercial now?

The ninth annual event will be held Thanksgiving weekend, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, Nov. 27, 28 and 30, at the HP Field House at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Fla.

Michigan State is ranked No. 1 in this week’s Associated Press preseason poll, while Kansas is ranked No. 2 and Marquette is No. 25. Five of the teams are making their second appearance in the Old Spice Classic: Marquette (2009); Michigan State (2008); Rider (2007); Tennessee (2008) and Xavier (2009).

The 2014 Old Spice Classic, a bracket-format tournament, will feature 12 games over the three days. Each team will compete in one game per day, advancing through a bracket-tournament format. The two teams that remain undefeated throughout will face off in a championship match Sunday, Nov. 30.  Gonzaga captured the 2012 Old Spice Classic title, its second tournament championship (also 2008). Previous winners were Dayton (2011), Notre Dame (2010), Florida State (2009), North Carolina State (2007) and Arkansas (2006).
