I'm hopping on board the "This Tourny Sucks" Train.

Colorado is good. Nebraska, getting better. The rest? No. Do we seriously have to BE the patsy to play a quality team??

George Washington. 29
Colorado. 26
Nebraska. 49
Wichita State. 8
Ohio. 66
Hawaii. 151
DePaul. 141


That is a good tourney. If you ignore the name on the front of the jersey, it really looks pretty solid.

Purnell is like a little puppy dog the way he's following Marshall around to these MTE's. Sorry, man, it's not going to save your job.

Lets just think of them as a good luck charm and beat their ass again.

I was hoping this update would be "WSU gets invited to battle of Atlantis, pulls out of diamon head classic"

Before we can say this is a good or bad tournament we need to analyze who all of these teams have coming back. I haven't took the time to do that yet but I think we all can agree that a lot can change year over year. Unfortunately this tournament isn't one that WSU will get a lot of credit for winning even if we are able to do that next year. I always hope to see at least two other Top 20-40 programs in the pre-season tournaments that WSU plays in and unfortunately this will be three years in a row without that happening.

Pretty much this. That group is amazing compared to the crap sandwich we had to swallow at the CBE this year:

321 (Tennessee State)
140 (William & Mary)
144 (DePaul)
34 (BYU)

Pointless post. Whatever those teams do this year means nothing for next year.

This is on a different level than the crap that we've played in the last two years. Nebraska is looking more and more like they will be a decent draw.

5 of 7 top scorers for Ohio are Seniors
DePaul's top 2 scorers are seniors, but not losing much else
Doesn't look like any of Colorado's 4 seniors contribute much more than 3-4 minutes/game
Nebraska's 2 seniors combine for less than 8 pts/game
2 of GW's top 3 scorers are seniors, but they have 5 guys total averaging in double figures
Hawaii's 1st, 4th, and 7th highest scorers are their 3 seniors

So overall it's kind of a mixed bag as to what the different teams are losing. Impossible to tell what else could change between now and the start of next year in terms of transfers, injuries, coaching changes, etc.

Is Dinwiddie coming back? I would assume so but haven't heard much since his injury.
