KSUcks' Gillespie has been a monster so far this year

 

I wonder if the Zips will ever play at the Greenbrier? We can say hello to Rob Fulford. I liked him.

I hope not. The bracket Kent found themselves on looks miserable. These tournaments are one of the few times we have an opportunity to play quality competition on a neutral court and I feel we should take advantage. Radford, CSU, and Wright State are all programs we can schedule any season with ease. In fact, Radford is so pathetic we would just pay them to come to the JAR without offering a return game.

 

Edit: The Mountain Division bracket would be appealing, but they only place power conference schools in it.

Completely agree. I just think the venue is cool. Ceiling looks low, but otherwise very unique.

It's a ballroom. D1 basketball should not be played there, hence why Cleveland State was invited.

They should call the event, the Little Dance.
