| The Old Spice Field is Stacked
Tennessee will have its work cut out to win it next year. Not a cupcake in the bunch. 3 potential top 10 teams in the bunch(UT, MSU, Zaga) and a team that's not far off(Georgetown). Add in Maryland, Wichita State, Oklahoma State, and Siena and you have yourself a very stacked field. Any college basketball fan will be excited to see these teams take to the court.

| I would advise you to do so. Every game should be great to watch

| Memphis was suppose to be in that tournament as well, but they didn't want to play Gonzaga and UT twice in one year. No benefit there really | |

| Yep, the old spice field was OK last year but it will be stacked this year.
Last year the best teams were Villanova, NC State, George Mason, S. Carolina and Penn State which is not saying much.
It will be tough for anyone UT to win this year especially with the top teams in it | |

| I hope we get OSU first round. We had a nice win against them 2 years ago. | |

| I would say we'll be anywhere from a 3-4 seed. Considering we're a top 10 team nationally that tells you all you need to know about the quality of the field

| We should be the best team in the group, right?

Maryland, Wichita State, OSU, and Siena will all be pains to play. The winner of this tournament has really accomplished something. If we can win a couple of these games and hold our own in the other non-conference games, then our OOC schedule is second to none

| Why is MSU going to be better than UT next year? They lost Neitzel. Did they get anyone? Who all returns for them?
