WVU will play Texas A&M in its opening game on Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 2 p.m. The Mountaineers are in the top half of the double-sided bracket with Ohio State and Memphis. The winners of the first matchups will play each other and the losers will then play each other. The first game determines your path in the bracket without re-entry to the path to the championship.
The bottom half to the bracket contains Creighton, Utah, Dayton and Wichita State.
In total, each team will play three games across three days of play.
