    The fact that they're doing 8 tournaments in Orlando means the likelihood of having fans is almost nonexistent.

    I realized that after I posted hahaha, but I'm just going to continue to hold on hope that it may be limited capacity or something.

    Sounds like Xavier is pulling out of this event and instead is opening the season at Cintas with it's own multi-team event. Attendees are expected to be Toledo, Oakland and Bradley. Sounds like an effort to reduce travel, expenses and potential exposure. Story on the Enquire site: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/spo...on/3624730001/
    I have complete faith in coach Steele and Co.

    Because these are "buy" games, I doubt that expenses are a factor in this decision.
    Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament...Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly--Eamonn Brennan, ESPN (Summer Shootaround, 2012)

    Toledo, Oakland and Bradley?!? Woo hoo! This reminds me of the annual excitement that always surrounded the Hoosier Invitational and the UKIT!

    Since everybody is limited Non-Con, I personally am happy with increasing our chances to win out before the BEast slate. Let the conference record decide our post season fate.....10 BE wins should punch a dance ticket IF the limited pre-conference games go well.

    Zagsblog is reporting that the Big 10/BE Gaviett games are probably not going to happen.

    In other words, Xavier doesn't want to potentially be embarrassed by Saint Louis, Belmont, Boise State or some other MAAC program.

    Notice how Wright State and Northern Kentucky aren't invited if they're looking to limit travel expenses.

    Yeesh. Bypassing a chance to play Gonzaga or Michigan State. Has Steele been hanging out with Wojo?
