Memphis is added to a tough non-conference slate that also features Iowa, Kansas and Rutgers​

South Orange, N.J. — The 2022 ESPN Events Invitational bracket has been revealed and the Seton Hall men's basketball team will take on Memphis at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 24 at State Farm Field House at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Fla.

The game will be televised on ESPN News and the Pirates will face either Oklahoma or Nebraska in their second game. On the other side of the bracket on Nov. 24, Florida State will face Siena at 11 a.m. followed by Ole Miss vs. Stanford at 1:30 p.m.

The Thanksgiving matchup marks the fifth all-time meeting between the Pirates and the Tigers. Seton Hall last played Memphis on Nov. 21, 2008 at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Pirates' lone win in the series was a 103-71 victory on Jan. 22, 1953 in Walsh Gymnasium. Three of the the four meetings have come on a neutral court.

Memphis is now added to what will be another challenging non-conference schedule for the Pirates under first-year head coach Shaheen Holloway. The Hall is set to face four NCAA Tournament teams from last season in Memphis, Iowa (Nov. 16, Prudential Center), Rutgers (Dec. 11, Jersey Mike's Arena) and Kansas (Dec. 1, Allen Fieldhouse), the defending national champions.

Seton Hall is 15-6 in its last 20 early-season, multi-team event games, including championship runs at the 2014 Paradise Jam Tournament and the 2018 Wooden Legacy Tournament. The Pirates last competed at the ESPN Events Invitational in 2016-17.

The 2022 ESPN Events Invitational, 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 matchup Sunday, Nov. 27.

All games will air on the ESPN networks, including Sunday's championship game on ESPN (1:30 p.m. ET).

Ticket information and travel packages will be announced later this summer. Fans can sign up on the event website for a pre-sale to guarantee first access and a $10 discount on all price levels. Travel packages, which include a discounted rate at the Gaylord Palms Resort as well as transportation to/from the arena, will soon be available via Anthony Travel.

2022 ESPN Events Invitational​

Dates: Nov. 24-25, 27

Site: ESPN Wide World of Sports, Orlando, Florida

7 early-season 2022-23 men's college basketball tournaments to watch

The early-season men's college basketball tournaments have begun. Here's your handy guide to the matchups, players and stats to watch.

www.espn.com

First-round matchups:

Florida State Seminoles vs. Siena Saints
Ole Miss Rebels vs. Stanford Cardinal
Oklahoma Sooners vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers
Memphis Tigers vs. Seton Hall Pirates

Team to beat: Memphis lost key players to the transfer portal and Jalen Duren to the NBA, but the addition of Kendric Davis (19.4 PPG, 37% from 3 last season), who will enter the season with All-American and Wooden Award aspirations after a stellar career at SMU, will give Penny Hardaway a chance to make another run at the NCAA tournament. Boise State transfer Emmanuel Akot (10.6 PPG) and returnee DeAndre Williams (11.1 PPG) will further boost an intriguing roster.

Sleeper team: Porter Moser has some continuity with Tanner Groves leading a group of returnees at Oklahoma, which also added Grant Sherfield (19.1 PPG) from Nevada.

Player to watch: Stanford coach Jerod Haase has quietly built a program that can compete for the Pac-12 title with Spencer Jones and Harrison Ingram, the top scorers from last season's team. But Michael Jones, who averaged 11.8 PPG at Davison last season, could determine where the Cardinal land in the conference standings.

Something for the college hoops junkies: Poor shooters can become great shooters over time, too. Take Al-Amir Dawes (Clemson), one of three key transfers for Shaheen Holloway's Seton Hall squad that could upset the field here and throughout the season. He finished 48-for-151 (nearly 32%) from beyond the arc as a freshman before improving to 84-of-211 (nearly 40%) in the same stat last season.

Thanksgiving and the Pirates don‘t mesh

We were 2-2 in the Willard era on Thanksgiving day. Loss to Florida, Loss to URI, Win against Grand Canyon, Win over Southern Miss. I'm pretty sure all of those were night games. It would be nice to watch them play during the day.
