RALEIGH, N.C. – William Peace opens the 2024-25 men's basketball season in Roanoke, Va., this weekend.

The Pacers will be one of four teams competing in the Frankie Allen Tip-Off Tournament at the Cregger Center. Roanoke will host the tournament, which starts Friday, Nov. 15, and concludes Saturday, Nov. 16.

Saint Vincent (Pa.) is the Pacers' opponent in Friday's 8 p.m. nightcap. Roanoke, the host, plays Springfield in the first game at 6 p.m. The winners will face each other in the championship game at 3 p.m. The consolation game precedes the title game at 1 p.m.

Head Coach Claude Shields enters his 13th year at the helm. He leads a Pacers' squad featuring nine returnees and 10 newcomers. The top returnees are guards Shawn Jones, Michael Dulin and Ryan Lominack.
