NORFOLK, Va. – B.J. Stith of the Old Dominion men’s basketball team has accepted an offer to play in the upcoming Portsmouth Invitational Tournament on April 17-20 at Churchland High School Sports Complex (4301 Cedar Lane, Portsmouth, Va. 23703).
Each year for 67 years the P.I.T has invited 64 of the best college basketball players (seniors) from across the nation to participate in a four-day, twelve game tournament in front of representatives from every NBA team. The tournament drew the attention of NBA Scouts and General Managers in the 1970’s when players like Rick Barry, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, Dave Cowens, John Lucas and Bobby Cremins came to Portsmouth to play.
