There are many different Vegases. Maybe they’ll spa it up and get massages before the games. I usually go to see Ken at the Hard Rock.

That is a solid bunch of teams for a pre-season tourney.
A lot of those will be playing on the second weekend of March Madness.

How in the world do they determine the top 4 to play in a championship or consolation game in that format?

18 teams, only 2 games for each. You are going to have likely 6 or 7 teams that go 2-0. Point differential?

I'm hoping the Orange beat Houston. Kiyan Anthony and company are a decent squad so far this year but this will be their first big game match-up.

Maui go way of the Great Alaska Shootout. Vegas is a “get paid” tournament and will continue to expand.

Well, didn’t expect Syracuse and Houston to go to OT.

It’s pathetic how bad teams are now in end of game situations in tie games. Coaches are so terrified of giving the opponent a last shot that they wait entirely too long to initiate the offense. It usually results in a rush, bad 3 point attempt or an aimless drive to nowhere

If we make our free throws, it never goes to overtime. Here's to kicking Kansas arse tomorrow.
