Orlando Classic (Now the Advocare Invitational)

[shock]

I'm very sure most college coaches who are friends try to avoid playing each other if at all possible. At least until both of them have significant track records of success at their current employer.

the opposite holds true as well. How many times has UNC gone into the fog?

How many times has UNC played ANY road games?

I think the fact HCCJ knows all of our plays has the most to do with it. Look no farther than the UL-Manhattan match up in the tourney last year and Pitino's comments about it. It will be a long, long time before we play Bowling Green.

Very possibly a bunch of decent teams. Also very possibly not a single top 25 team in the group (other than the Shox of course).

I continue to be disappointed that our Shockers hardly ever get to play against top notch competition until March each year. Not their fault of course as the scheduling system sucks, but a sad reality none-the-less.

So would you classify these teams as garbage, or hot garbage?

Why don't we have a "poke the bear" emoticon?

Well, we can hope for great draws in Atlantis and Maui in 2016 and 2017.

Can schools back out if they see who is playing in the tournament? Could that be the reason we don't get any of the blue bloods in our tournaments?

Like Wisconsin in Maui?
UW’s future tournaments include one at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2015, a trip to Kansas City in 2016 and the Maui Invitational in Hawaii in 2017.

[Cdizzle]

We all know Wisconsin will be hot garbage by 2017.

[Anthroshock]

We all know Wisconsin will be hot garbage by 2017.

I don't know that. Wisconsin hasn't missed the tournament since 1999.

Pretty good streak there.

I'd love a H-H with Colorado. Call it the Border War since KU won't play Mizzou. Hell, schedule Mizzou and we'll take KU's place in their Border War for them.

We could call it the Water Rights war or the Reservoir War

[SHOCKvalue]

We could call it the Water Rights war or the Reservoir War

We already have one of those potentially in a few weeks, with Nuhbraskuh.

Akron beat Southern Cal last night 66-46.

Hopefully they will be better next year.

Neither. Wasn't trying to say they are bad. Just not great. WSU is great right now and I wish WSU could play some great teams now and again.
