I just saw that Cincinnati announced they'll be in the 2016 Hall of Fame Tip Off Classic (with Duke, Rhode Island and Penn State) then in 2017 they're going to the Cayman Islands Classic (with Wyoming, Iowa and UAB so far).

Has there been word on where X will be heading in the next couple of years?

Maui

I'm very interested in that tournament. Will other teams attend? Never mind, it doesn't matter. I'm very interested!

Maui isn't until 2018, as far as I know.

Xavier is also slated to play in Charleston either next season or in 2017.

Charleston SC? Or WV?

What event is this?

If it's the Charleston Classic, which I assume that it is, it's in Charleston SC at CofC's campus.

Where are you seeing these? I can't find the info for us playing in either of these.

I saw that in prior year's posts, although Charleston was where Xavier was tentatively scheduled a few years ago. They had to play musical chairs when they moved from Orlando in 2014 to the Wooden Legacy. It would have been a nicer field this season (where Providence is playing) than the tire fire that Xavier faced last year. Then again, I have no complaints about the field that Xavier faces in Orlando this season.

The Cayman Islands Classic in 2017 is a new event - I'll be curious to see if that tournament falls under the umbrella of either ESPN, CBS Sports Network, Fox or NBC Sports Network. Depending on the timing, I'm not sure if that's going to be any better or worse than playing 3 games in Charleston before Thanksgiving weekend.
