The Gold Nuggets received a bye to the semifinals after their quarterfinal opponent, Voorhees College of Denmark, S.C., announced Wednesday its withdrawal from the postseason event.
"Due to some circumstances that were out of their control, Voorhees has regretfully withdrawn from our championship tournament," GCAC Commissioner Steven B. Martin said.
There will be two tournament matches Friday at XU's Convocation Center. Philander Smith will play Talladega at noon in the quarterfinals, and that winner will play Xavier in the semifinals at 3 p.m. The championship match will start at noon Saturday at the Convocation Center.
Tickets for the GCAC Tournament will cost $5 for ages 13 and older. There will be free admission for children 12 and younger and for GCAC-member students with valid school identification cards.
Xavier is the tournament's No. 1 seed and a three-time defending champion. The Gold Nuggets won their fourth consecutive GCAC regular-season championship on Nov. 1.
