An unranked (and possibly undefeated) team is about to come out of Cancun with some buzz - ESPN
By John Gasaway, ESPN Insider

Michigan State's offense continued to sputter against Virginia Tech, sending the No. 3 Spartans to their second loss of the young season.
"The Cancun Challenge bracket pits Wichita State against South Carolina and Northern Iowa against West Virginia in action starting Tuesday. These four enter the event showing a combined record of 19-1, with WSU, the Panthers and the Mountaineers all being undefeated.
Of the 19 victories recorded by the field, the most impressive of the bunch is perhaps the 15-point win West Virginia posted in a true road game at Pitt. Bob Huggins' team missed the NCAA tournament in March for the first time since 2014, but the Mountaineers have shown signs of improvement in their first four games. Derek Culver and Oscar Tshiebwe form the backbone of what could be an excellent interior defense, and Jermaine Haley has given hints that his 28-point eruption against Iowa State late last season might have been a sign of things to come.
Then again, perhaps it will be Wichita State's shot volume (the Shockers take excellent care of the ball), Northern Iowa's shooting (Austin Phyfe is hitting 70% of his 2s) or South Carolina's second chances (Frank Martin's men really crash the offensive glass) that prove unstoppable in Cancun. Whichever team emerges victorious, it appears likely that the group in question will be sporting an impressive record and receiving newfound and deserved attention."
