A Six‑Year Tradition Returns to the Bahamas
The Wolfpack will travel to Nassau for the sixth edition of the Baha Mar Championship, a preseason showcase that has become a staple on the college basketball calendar. The event, held at the Baha Mar Convention, Arts & Entertainment Center, gathers four teams for a compact but high‑profile tournament.
Games are slated for November 19 and 20, with NC State opening against Murray State at 6 p.m. Eastern, followed by a Wisconsin versus Seton Hall clash at 8:30 p.m. The following night will feature a consolation matchup at 7 p.m. and the championship game at 9:30 p.m., each airing live on CBS Sports Network.
Beyond the on‑court action, the tournament offers a full fan experience. VIP packages promise premium seating, a reception with dinner and open bar, round‑trip ground transportation, breakfast vouchers, welcome gifts and dedicated concierge service. General admission tickets and hotel rooms can be purchased separately through the official site, while travelers should note that a passport is required for entry to the Bahamas.
The championship’s growing profile reflects the appeal of combining competitive basketball with a resort setting, drawing teams and fans alike to a weekend that blends sport, hospitality and travel. As the event approaches, ticket sales and hospitality packages are expected to fill quickly, underscoring the tournament’s rising stature.
