May be like the last few years when we had to agree to play a game like this in exchange for playing in a tournament. In this case, the Montana tourney.

How does that work? What connection would the tourney have to Guilford college?
I don't remember playing a d3 school in my 21 years of following. D2, yes, but D3? I'm going to go to see the team because i'll be in town but that should be a $hat show

They've certainly played D3 schools in the past, NC Wesleyan and Greensboro College come to mind. While it's unfortunate, it's nothing new. Most of the In-Season tournaments have these kind of tie-ins. I believe it's a way for the D2/D3 schools to get a check, and us to get a home game but the sponsor of the tournament pays for it. Not sure about the specifics though.
