The Bahamas over Thanksgiving sounds nice. The tournament features a number of credible mid majors. A tournament we could win but could easily lose. I like this field and take some pride in being singled out for praise over, say, Tulane.

I would love to go and was actually surprised at some of the prices I could find if not staying at the Baha mar resorts. I am not sure if I would be able to go even though I have racked up enough PTO with COVID and our expansions. I see a good test for us with this field of teams. If we are able to maintain our momentum and level of play, we have a good chance of either winning or at least taking it to the wire. If we don't do well, I am going to have evaluate our time to get back. It doesn't make the season a wash, but I do think the tourney will be telling.

All those things we can only discuss intangibly, such as the impact of the loss of two bigs, or the potential of new bigs, will be tested with the field at this tournament. It is not the end of the world, but it will be very telling about where we are compared to recent seasons. I am really looking forward to the tournament and very hopeful we are even stronger this year.

For sure RC, We can always improve if we don't play as well as we would like. Still, if we can come out at this tourney and win several games. it will let us know we haven't fallen off.

No doubt. I am just excited about the coming year. Now that we have hung some great seasons on the wall, it would be really great to have a very strong year to cement our standing as a very strong program. This is a great opportunity year coming up, new coach, new talent, more speed, great leadership returning, and defensive strength all around the court.
