Puerto Rico Tip off kicks off this week. Remember these games are being played at Myrtle Beach due to Puerto Rico getting hit hard by a hurricane. Much like the Charleston Classic, this field isn't the greatest. Iowa State is pretty clearly not the same team they've been the last 5 years. South Carolina, coming off a Final 4 appearance, lost it's two best players and another starter. Illinois State has a completely different team as well. Tulsa lost to Lamar.

I have absolutely no clue who's going to win this thing, let alone meet in the finals. I'm not even sure of the most surest thing, which would be Iowa State beating App State.

I'll go with a Iowa State vs. South Carolina final, but like I said wouldn't surprise me to see App. State beat ISU. This has the potential to be a great tournament with a lot of unpredictability.

In your defense if Toledo was in the bottom half of this bracket, I would have taken them as well. Lol.

@Deep Creek I don't know if you pay attention to basketball or not....but anyways bring it on bitch!!

Iowa State getting ran at Hilton by UW-Milwaukee. They stink

LOL...I'm assuming we play you guys but I haven' t looked at the schedule.

I'm a UTEP fan and Don Haskins acolyte! Of course I pay attention to hoops. After all, it is all us Miner fans have to hang on to. (Gawd knows we suck in football...especially lately.)

Still the only team in Texas to win an NCAA D-1 Men's Hoops Championship! Even if it was nearly 52 years ago.

Since the tournament didn't start and I have more data, I am now picking Iowa State to lose to App State. WMU lost by 20 to South Carolina last night, so I'm not sure who even wins the Tulsa vs. WMU game. That bottom half of the bracket has turned to shit.

Iowa State lost most of their roster from last year. Losing by 18 points to Milwaukee is concerning. Milwaukee is currently #164 on kenpom. That could change, but as of right now, Milwaukee ain't Georgia Southern.

South Carolina looks like the overwhelming favorite

Tough to tell what else happens with Iowa State clearly in full on rebuilding mode

 

[ericd7633]

Illinois State vs. South Carolina tips off in 2 hours. Day basketball is the best.

South Carolina RIP

 

[rmilia1]

Well this tourney is officially a clusterfuck with ISU taking out South Carolina . I have no clue now

 

[ericd7633]

Chaos! Love it! Illinois State lost 4 starters. Can't believe they won that game.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

We pulled an absolute miracle out of our ass against UTEP....take that @Deep Creek !!!

Stunned South Carolina lost @24seven @Used 2 B Hu @GoldenSpur any explanations?? Were you guys afraid of us or something??

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

This is bad for us now, we lose to every fucking Missouri Valley conference team we play unless it's named after a rapper

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Oh well

Any of you Illinois State fans want an avatar bet! There's bound to be one of you out there
