Hard to believe they can hold this tournament without the "Michigan State Spartans Presented By Rocket Mortgage" or as I like to call them, the Michigan State Mortgage Rockets..
If we keep putting the Seton Hall name next to blue chip programs in preseason and postseason tournaments, its only going to help.
Love that we are in this tourney.

I like how our guy schedules OOC. (This past season was Covid crazy.) A stark contrast to the guy off exit 9.
Well they do play in the toughest conference, check notes, oh nevermind.
It’s ok for Ohio State to play a 20 game conference schedule and go to a tournament such as this, but another team in the same league doesn’t need to...

I see it the other way. I think they'll want a Florida-Ohio State final, so I think we'll see one of those two teams in the first round. Cal and SH would be considered the two weaker teams in the field.
I realize you're probably being facetious, but it's really hard to argue with that right about now. It's just a shame that Bill Walton is so painful to listen to that we either don't watch Pac-12 games or have to watch them without volume.
Gotta see how rosters end up, Florida is losing a ton aren’t they to transfer? They’d probably want Florida in the finals just because of location.
Well it is april fools day so makes sense for ref and excuse to lose scenarios to be place held 7 months ahead of event
This season, the tournament played on Thanksgiving Day and the next day. FOX aired Kansas-Gonzaga on Thanksgiving (the other teams were Auburn and St. Joes's).
If they stick to the same format and dates, that's all the more reason to believe Florida-OSU plays in that Thanksgiving day slot.
It should be noted that the tournament was originally supposed to be Monday and Wednesday the 23rd and 25th this season with Butler, Colorado, South Florida and Wisconsin.
I still think they'll guarantee themselves Florida-OSU rather than take the chance that one of them wins and one loses in the first game.
It's two games tournament style. Think the NIT Tip-Off in 2017 when we played at Barclays Center.
Many times these tournaments have a “3rd game” on campus that guarantees a certain team moves forward, even if it was a loss, no? Gets the extra exempt tournament game.
Great news considering I live 15 minutes away! Just applied for a tickets only package. I’d love to meet up with some of you planning to make the trip.
It might even be two campus games since you're allowed up to four games in exempt tournaments. Some of these tournaments will have a second four team bracket at another site. It's a way to allow mid-majors to participate while ensuring the name schools play in the main bracket.
I’ve stayed in the Pink Shell shown on the tournament homepage. Loved every second of it. 20 minutes from the arena. Wouldn’t mind staying there again sometime soon haha
Normally the Fort Myers tip-off games are played on the Monday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day.
Each of the four teams that play in Fort Myers will also get two on-campus Fort Myers tip-off games. The tournament people set those games up but Seton Hall will have the opportunity to approve or decline the matchups.
Really nice venue to see a basketball game. The City of Palms tournament is held there now and Geico Nationals high school basketball championship tournament is being held there this year and in fact the finals are today 4/3.
