Vols are going to Puerto Rico in November. 2012-13 Comprehensive Early Season Events List - CBSSports
The only team in that field UT should not be favored over is NC State. Let's hope the brackets don't have them meeting till the finals |

| If the person doing the bracket has half a brain we will be on opposite sides as NC State. I like the field, in that 2 wins over the rest of those teams would be good solid wins, then the game verse Nc State will be a huge opportunity.
Should give us a good idea as to how the team will be IMO, and that's about the only thing you're looking for in these early tournaments. | |

| The Battle of Atlantis tourney is stacked. IMO, rivals the field for the Maui. And wow, the GAS Tournament has really fell off but it's expected. Nobody wants to go somewhere to freeze when you have teams in Mexico, the Virgin Islands, and Hawaii.

| I think UMass loses very few of their players from last year, and they lookd pretty good in the NIT. I think they went to NYC.
Providence has a great recruiting class coming, most likely the best in the Big East. They'll be talented but young.
The Maui actually looks pretty 'meh'. Two teams that just lost their coach (Miss. St. and Illinois) and some underacheivers (Butler and Texas). Marquette is really the only team that had a season worth a damn last year. | |

| Providence class is pretty impressive all things considered.
2 5* top 25 players?? There's only 3 other teams that can claim that as well this year. | |

Kinda surprised no one started a thread about it because it's kinda old news now. I'll make one when I get to my comp. Unless someone else beats me to it. | |
