Yeah, not the best. Still, I think this makes a lot of sense for a team like MSU. A chance to get some young guys a little more time on the court, and a chance to work on some things as a team against competition that doesn't know you as well as the league. I think this is a good building block for a young team on the rise like MSU. I think the keys are to treat the games as a precursor for next year, working on young guys, and to not make this touney the consistent post-season acceptance of the program.

Good luck!

It should prepare them well for next years Sunbelt slate.

It's a good thing that Northern Iowa decided to not play, that group looks way to tough for them to hang with.

I'll take the entire Grand Canyon to win this one.

Will be a good experience. Wish Marshall could have gotten some too.

What's your beef with a team not wanting to participate in one of these tourneys? The competition isn't good, there is no financial incentive, they've already endured 5-6 months of games, not counting practice and summer workouts and this extra time also allows coaches a jump start on preparations for recruitment, the summer and the next season.
