A lot of potential in that tournament, RPI-wise. No names that jump out to me right now as being slam-dunk opportunities but some very solid programs that should give us the opportunity for some nice resume building or at the very least won't stick us with a damning loss. No Bohannon, Wes or Jesperson but we'll still have an experienced and talented lineup

Tulane has lost to TWO SWAC teams this season so far, but they did get by Drake, sigh....

Yikes, that's not quiet what I expected it to be. I'm trying to remember the lineup when UNI went there though, for comparison's sake.

The Paradise Jam has really fallen off. Not being connected to ESPN has killed them.

If it weren't for Maryland, the field that UNI saw last time would have been horrific.

Virginia Tech and Northwestern were our other opponents correct? That wasn't the worst draw in the world but you're right, it's not of the same quality it used to be. A nice confidence builder though for Loyola to go in there and win some games and maybe the whole thing. No one jumps out to me as a favorite in that field

No, VT and Northwestern were last year in Cancun. The Paradise Jam was two years ago and we had Loyola Marymount and LaSalle as our other two.

Shocks should enjoy Atlantis as that has developed into a nice field, I would guess a Pac-12 or SEC team for the 8th member of that field.
