I hope we draw either Montana or Loyola IL at some point because with the youth of our team, I would hate to go 0-3 in a tournament like this ( I assume each team plays 3 games).

Pretty cool and really good "name" field, with four teams representing power conferences (ACC, SEC, Big East and Pac-12), even though some of them were down last year.

The website says teams are seeded according to RPI (I'm guessing final RPI at the end of this season). If it were played today the bracket would look like this:

1 NC State (RPI = 31) vs 8 St. Joseph's 179

4 Montana 136 vs 5 ORU 156

3 Loyola 87 vs 6 Creighton 157

2 Ole Miss 57 vs 7 Washington State 163

Gotta think some of these will change this year, but hopefully ORU's will be higher too, so maybe we can get a pretty good seed. (5th is actually higher than I would have guessed at first glance.)

never too early to start looking forward to 2016-17 season!

I did a quick check of final RPI numbers (from NCAA website) and here's the seeding...

1. St. Joe's (21) vs. 8. Loyola (239)

4. N.C. State (123) vs. 5. Montana (144)

2. Ole Miss (97) vs. 7. Washington St. (211)

3. Creighton (100) vs. 6. ORU (151)

Should be a great tournament and an opportunity for ORU to get some early season wins that could be beneficial come March....
