“We are pleased to be able to continue our season by participating in the second College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas,” WVU coach Ross Hodge said in a statement.
“Everything I’ve heard about the inaugural tournament last year is that it’s a tremendous event and first-class experience for the teams and their fans. We have a wonderful group of guys on and off the court, and the Crown provides us a special opportunity to continue our season.”
The games will played at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena from April 1-5.
The Crown is a single-elimination, eight-team competition with postseason matchups from the nation’s biggest basketball conferences. An NIL prize pool of $500,000 will be awarded.
