Not any local trip in the Carolinas here, as Charleston is a long way from home in Honolulu as the Diamond Head Classic gets underway for Charleston and seven others. The Cougars have hardly skipped a beat under new HC Chris Mack after Pat Kelsey's move to Louisville, with returnee 6-10 F Ante Brzovic leading the way with a robust 19.5 ppg and leading this 80 ppg Cougars offense. A pair of transfer Gs, ex-Citadel AJ Smith & ex-Delaware State Deywilk Tavcarez, are also scoring in double digits as C of C has rolled off four straight impressive wins. While 8-2, the Beavers don't bring the most important thing with them from Corvallis...Gill Coliseum, where they've played all but one of their games this term. And that one was a loss at North Texas on November 25. Play Charleston (at Honolulu)
