James Long will be a winner no matter what happens on July 16.
Either his Best Virginia squad will win its pre-TBT tune-up game. Or, his college team, West Virginia Tech, will prove to its head coach that it can beat a collection of former D-I collegiate standouts.
Best Virginia will now play West Virginia Tech in its lone exhibition game on July 16 at Fairmont State University.

The club was previously scheduled to play against a team from the Maryland-based PITS League. Now, the WVU alumni squad will face Long’s regular-season group.
Tip-off for the exhibition game is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET at Fairmont State’s Joe Retton Arena. Tickets are on sale for $10.
Best Virginia will also host a pair of skills camps before the West Virginia Regional of The Basketball Tournament gets underway. Those camps are scheduled for July 17 in Morgantown and July 22 in Charleston.
