    Apparently this tournament is also in a state of flux- WIU is out and Wagner is in. In addition to 3 games in Estero, Florida, each D1 team gets a D2 or D3 opponent on their home court prior to travelling to Florida.

      CARBONDALE — The SIU men’s basketball team will play in an eight-team tournament right before Thanksgiving in Florida this season, according to Saluki associate head coach Tom Hankins.


      Note that only three of the eight participants had winning records.
      My first BU hoops game was on 12/30/1963. My dad took me to watch the Braves defeat Arizona 67-59. He helped me get Coach Orsborn's autograph before the game.
