No official word yet, but Stanford will play in a tournament somewhere in Las Vegas around the Thanksgiving holiday. It will not be @ the T-Mobile Arena.
UNLV hosts a Thanksgiving tourney @ their Thomas and Mack Center (nice venue) and then there's The Southpoint Shootout (also during Thanksgiving) at the Southpoint Hotel & Casino. Their arena has often been used for rodeos and it's miles from the Strip. I suspect it will not be there.
There could be another tournament and venue, but I'm currently not aware of one. If I learn anything more I'll let you know.
Vegas hosts several holiday tournaments. The SouthPointe tourney has had the biggest names in the past. I would guess that’s the one we are in.
We also have road games at Creighton, at Tennessee, at South Carolina
And possibly at Gonzaga
The schedule looks very very challenging at this point.
I’m wondering how the search for a new assistant coach is going too?
I doubt it's @ South Point. Stanford will play at an arena used totally for basketball while the South Point venue is not.
Historically, the Blue Jays are very tough to beat in their small arena, so yes- the pre-conference road schedule is shaping up to be tough.
I would be in favor of a coach not associated with Stanford with recruitment ties to schools outside California and who might be able to tap into players to help fill some of our performance gaps (i.e. guards who can create and score).
