      Four games, two at home, but a long way to travel for two games in Cancun. Would much rather have 1 at home and three in Cancun. C'est la vie!

        The two highest rated teams face off in opener, the winner getting the winner of 3rd and 4th best. Isn't that backward from the norm?

          Maybe Huggy requested to be on the other side of Teddy Buckets.

          What's up with SC? Did they refuse a post-season invite or not get one?

            I don’t think any of the postseason tournaments allow schools under .500

            Edit: Nevermind, West Virginia is right in front of my face. The norm is not for Major 7 schools to accept CBI/CIT invites though.

          Is the alumni Assoc putting something together for this?

              Your guide to the 16 best early-season college basketball tournaments - NBC Sports

              By Rob Dauster
              Nov 19, 2019, 12:18 PM EST




              "Starting next week, college basketball will be thrown back into one of the best weeks of the season.

              It’s Holiday Tournament time!

              Afternoon college hoops means opportunities to gamble for 15 straight hours on college hoops.

              So with that in mind, here is a ranking of the 16 best exempt events that will take place over the course of the next two weeks....

              15. CANCUN CHALLENGE

              WHEN: Nov. 26 and 27

              MATCH-UPS
              • Wichita State vs. South Carolina
              • Northern Iowa vs. West Virginia

              FAVORITE: Heading into the season, I probably would have said that Wichita State was the favorite to win this thing, but after seeing West Virginia go into Pittsburgh and do what Florida State could, I think I lean the Mountaineers at this point. This group is hardly the Press Virginia of old, with Derek Culver and Oscar Tshiebwe in the frontcourt, Bob Huggins has a roster with as much strength inside as anyone.

              TEAM TO WATCH: I still think Wichita State is good enough to make a run at an NCAA tournament bid, but they have not had the smoothest start to the season, struggling to put away the likes of Nebraska Omaha and Texas Southern. I do think there’s an argument to be made that Dexter Dennis and Erik Stevenson are the best backcourt in this event.

              PLAYER TO WATCH: The best NBA prospect in Cancun will be South Carolina guard A.J. Lawson. He’s a borderline first round pick that has gotten off to a solid start this season.

              IDEAL TITLE GAME: Frank Martin was an assistant under Bob Huggins when Huggy Bear was at Cincinnati and Kansas State. His coaching career really took off when Huggs left Kansas State for West Virginia one year after arriving in Manhattan and Martin was given the job. So obviously, I want to see South Carolina square off with West Virginia in the title game."

                  I mean, if you're going with secondary story lines the WSU/UNI matchup is much more compelling. But whatever.

                      Don't care about match ups. I just want the Shocker men's basketball team and HCGM to take it 1 GAME AT A TIME.

                        As much as i'd love to see another beatdown of UNI, it woudln't be any type of resume builder. Would much rather see West Virginia in the next round.

                          According to KenPom data, we have a 29% of winning the Cancun Challenge.
