Coastal Carolina will play two games in Cherokee, N.C.
CHEROKEE, N.C. – Insider Exposure CEO John McGraw announced on Tuesday the release of spectator tickets for the college portion of the 2023 Cherokee Invitational. Coastal Carolina, Michigan State, UT-Chattanooga, and Richmond will be playing in a four-team pre-Christmas tournament on the grounds of Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort, December 20-21, 2023.
"We are extremely pleased with the caliber of teams in this year's event," McGraw said. "In only our second year, we were able to bring in two teams coming off post season tournament success with UTC playing in the NCAA tournament last year and Richmond playing in the WNIT. As well to get a Power 5 school like Michigan State and an up and comer in the Sun Belt, Coastal Carolina, was huge for us. We look forward to an amazing few days in Cherokee."
"Multi-team events (MTE) are a great chance for teams to provide their student athletes with a chance to play in two extra games in a tournament style," said head coach Kevin Pederson. "We're excited to have the chance to participate in this year's event!"
