Hadn't realized how watered down this tournament had become . Ours to lose i suppose.

Apparently still not officially bracketed? (No bracket on the official site). Based on pairings, Iowa State looks to be "top" seed, but I can't necessarily pinpoint other placements.

If we can get to a championship against South Carolina, it's at least a P5 matchup against a program that has seen a final four in the last year.

Exactly how I knew the setup would be. ;) :D

Thanks for posting. I figured it was available somewhere, I probably was looking in the wrong places.

Rebuilding, reloading, whatever you call it, Iowa State should at minimum reach title game in this tournament. Field seems similar to Diamond Head Classic in 2013.

PRTO might've been a step up from that, if FSU hadn't dropped out of the field.

That is some bs that SCAR gets ESPN 2 twice. Final 4 last year or not, they do not have the tradition of making consecutive ncaa Tournaments

Am I crazy in thinking that SC could be the 1 seed?
South Carolina lost a lot of players due to graduation from last season. "Possibly" more than we lost.

Also, Illinois State has been a solid mid-major team under head coach Dan Muller, but I think the Redbirds may have lost a lot of players due to graduation as well.
