Is Bruce Pearl commentating on the games?

Kinda weird to use a commentator to market the tournament… :wink:

so I know we have games Monday and Tuesday

when are the other games for this tournament / how long does it run?

when would we be playing next, is my question

The website does not give much information on the format. It says it runs from Nov 24-27. I am assuming we play our first two games and have a third game for either the championship or 3rd place game? This is what I see on their site.

we probably won’t know until tuesday night but then again last year was just an 8 team field

Info is lacking. I assume they may do it like small AAU tournaments where they use point differentials to break ties. There will be more than two - two win teams after Tuesday

If we win our first two games it is going to be a tough go for me in Vegas since the championship game is late on Wednesday and we leave at 5 am Thursday…probably will not get much sleep lol. But, of course we will have to beat a very good Tennessee team that will be thinking revenge after we whipped their tails in the Elite 8 last year…

Don’t sleep on Syracuse! Yall can laugh at them all you want but that is still a storied program with rumblings of waking up. Gotta focus and kick butt!

I agree Syracuse is formidable but I don’t think they will be overlooked. We played very poorly here last year so I expect our young Coogs to come out strong…

I’d never heard him talk about his thoughts on players from Africa - great insight.

Interesting stuff about budget and us not having enough and donor fatigue.

Also about Africa and the 2027 class being a good class.

I was glad to hear him acknowledge the donor thing and talk about how it’s on the coaches to help do some fundraising to bridge the gap.

I take it that you are talking to the team and not us here on the forum. I don’t think the players come on here and read. It’s just us and we don’t have to focus on anything.

Are they still paying (2 million?) per team? I don’t get it how these guys can make money out of this tournament after paying so much to each team.
