A round up of the holiday tournaments:
Coaches Vs. Cancer— Memphis (As good as advertised. With so much youth they will only get better.)
CBE Classic— UCLA (Minus a couple of starters they still put the “Love Crush” on their opponents.)
Maui— Duke (Coach K has them running and shooting like the old days.)
NIT— Texas A & M (Acie Law is gone, but a wider aresenal of weapons are available.)
Great Alaskan Shootout— Butler (Won the Preseason NIT last year and went to the Sweet 16. Could do the same this year.)
OLD Spice Classic— NC State (Beat Villanova on a controversial call and I am still not on the Wolfpack bandwagon.)
Anaheim Classic— USC (Beat a cold shooting S. Illinois team. OJ Mayo is for real.)
