Yes, it’s a 3 game tourney, Rutger & Houston are our set opponents then it depends on W/L.Seems a little underwhelming to me TBH. Is it for sure there’s just one more game in the players era tourney?
If so, I’ll say 11-2. Houston and one of Illinois, Louisville, mystery opponent, or Syracuse (in descending order of likelihood of loss)
Last years OOC was what, 1 or 2 Top 25 games? This should be minimum 4, and probably 3 of those being Top 10-15?Seems a little underwhelming to me TBH. Is it for sure there’s just one more game in the players era tourney?

Maybe lol, Syracuse & Rutgers are also expected to be Top 75 teams, so 6/13 OOC games should be quality opponents, that’s really good number especially if those top end teams do end up being Top 10-15 teams as expected.True, but I also felt like last year’s was underwhelming. Perhaps I expect too much
A bit silly that a team could theoretically be 3-0 and place 9th in the tourney (that’s extremely unlikely, but certainly a team could go undefeated and not win the tourney, which is silly)NCAA dot com
All 18 men's teams will play on Monday, Nov. 24 and Tuesday, Nov. 25 in pre-set matchups, which will determine the championship matchups on Wednesday, Nov. 26. Teams that finish 2-0 entering Wednesday will be the first to qualify for the Players Era Championship game and the third-place game, with 1-1 teams to follow. Tiebreakers will be determined by point differential, points scored and points allowed. All men's games on Wednesday and Thursday will be determined following Tuesday's final game.

There is hypothetically a way for a team to go 3-0 and place ninth with this many teams but just looking at it for a second I saw a way for a team to go 3-0 and be 7th. Tennessee beats Houston and Rutgers. Kansas beats Notre Dame and Syracuse. Creighton beats Baylor and Iowa State. St John’s beats Iowa State and Baylor. Auburn beats Oregon and Michigan. Gonzaga beats Alabama and Maryland. SDSU beats Michigan and Oregon. UNLV beats Maryland and Alabama. Whoever wins the 7/8 game between the two teams of those eight who had the worst point differential would be 3-0 and in seventh placeHow do you figure?
I think you’ve added in teams that aren’t there? I count just 18?There is hypothetically a way for a team to go 3-0 and place ninth with this many teams but just looking at it for a second I saw a way for a team to go 3-0 and be 7th.
