Puerto Rico Tip-Off (Nov 18-Nov 21):

Davidson vs. West Virginia
Nebraska vs. Vanderbilt
Hofstra vs. UNC
Western KY vs. Minnesota

Charleston Classic (Nov 18-Nov 21):

Coastal Carolina vs. Georgetown
USC Upstate vs. Wofford
East Carolina vs. North Carolina State
George Mason vs. Charlotte

76 Classic (Nov 25-Nov 27):

Virginia Tech vs. Northridge
DePaul vs. Oklahoma State
Murray State vs. Stanford
Tulsa vs. UNLV

2010 Old Spice Classic (Nov 25-Nov 27):

Boston College vs. Texas A & M
Wisconsin vs. Manhattan
Georgia vs. Notre Dame
Temple vs. California

2010 Diamond Head Classic (Dec 22-Dec 25):

Mississippi St. vs. Washington State
San Diego vs. Baylor
Utah vs. Butler
Florida State vs. Hawai’i

A few others going on as well (2K Sports Classic, Preseason NIT). That Diamond Head Classic field is pretty good (Wazzu, Baylor and Butler should all be tough), although selfishly I'm most looking forward to the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Four teams that could be in the top 25 this season in UNC, WVU, Vandy, and Minn.

The Las Vegas Invitational will have Kansas vs. Arizona.

My Bobcats also play Kansas, and I will be in attendance...blacked out..smelling like hookers..and 20 large in chips in my left pocket.

I'll be in Kansas City. Pretty stoked for the opportunity to see Duke take on K-State in Big XII country. If the Devils and Wildcats should meet, it will really test Duke's early mettle. Although Marquette* and Gonzaga are enough to worry about. The CBE should all-around be an excellent two days.

*Although, definitely not happy to see Duke meet Marquette for what seems to be the 14th straight pre-season shootout. And I swear to God if Dominic James even comes out of the tunnel to play in this game...

Look like good predictions to me. I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Kentucky knock off MSU, they usually start a little slower and get things moving during conference season. I like Baylor in the Diamond Head as well.

You know what Tournament is awful? The sorry pathetic excuse that the Paradise Jam is this year. The quarterfinal games aren't even on tv.

Good lawd! Six Davidson players have at least two fouls!

Georgetown leads Coastal Carolina, 32-26 at halftime in the Charleston Classic.

A little over two minutes into the second half and it's a combined 34 fouls. Insanity.

Plus, Davidson is shooting 46% on FREE THROWS. Terrible.

West Virginia's John Flowers is the first to foul out. 8:11 to play. Two other WVU players with four fouls, and five Davidson players with four fouls.

Up to 52 combined fouls now. Funny part is, neither team is above 60% free throw shooting. And Davidson is 0-17 from 3-pt. Ouch.

FYI, the record for most fouls in a game is (as far as I can tell) 68. I don't think we'll break that. But we may get close.

Up to 57 fouls and 61 free throw attempts. Five Davidson players have four or more fouls, and two have fouled out! This is ridiculous!

Davidson being 0-for-17 from 3-point range = sad

Stadiums for both teams for this epic fail of not fouling enough!

UNC all over Hofstra at half, 58-33. Barnes has 19 points. In the Charleston Classic, Wofford beat USC Upstate 79-61.

Heels shooting it well, hopefully that continues. They have also been taking care of and moving the ball well which is a good improvement over last year.

Definitely nice to see Carolina making some perimeter shots. This is my first live look at Barnes in Carolina blue. Needless to say, I'm quite impressed.

That was a beatdown they put out. Hopefully Minnesota can get a W tonight against the Hilltoppers.

Didn't get to see 1 frickin' minute of the game. But I look at the box score and I see Barnes with 19 and 5 other Heels in double figs. Love this.
