RENO, Nev. - Nevada Men's Basketball will open the 2022 Cayman Islands Classic Monday, Nov. 21, at 2 p.m. PT against Tulane. The bracket for the Nov. 21-23 event was announced Wednesday morning.

Eight teams will compete in the tournament, with all games held at John Gray Gymnasium.

Nevada's opening-round contest with Tulane tips off the night session on the tournament's first day, followed by Rhode Island-Kansas State at approximately 4:30 p.m. PT. The winners will face off Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 4:30 p.m. PT, with the losers of the two opening-day games meeting at 2 p.m. PT.

The other half of the bracket makes up Nov. 21's morning session, with LSU-Illinois State opening the draw at 8 a.m. PT with Western Kentucky-Akron at 10:30 a.m. PT.
