BOULDER – The bracket for the 2021 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam has been set with the University of Colorado men’s basketball team scheduled to face Southern Illinois in a first round game on Friday, Nov. 19, at 6 p.m. MT.
The eight-team event will be held at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center in St. Thomas, Nov. 19-22. All Paradise Jam games will be streamed on either the ESPN3 or ESPN+ platforms.
The Buffaloes will play either Northeastern or Duquesne in their second game. First round winners receive a day off before meeting in the semifinals on Sunday, Nov. 21. Losers of first round games will play a consolation semifinal on Saturday, Nov. 20.
Colorado will play a third game on Monday, Nov. 22 against one of four teams on the opposite side of the bracket: Bradley, Colorado State, Brown or Creighton. The Paradise Jam championship game is set for 6 p.m. MT.
Colorado won the 2017 Paradise Jam which was relocated to Lynchburg, Va., that season due to damage to the Virgin Islands from Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria.
