Players Era

I haven't figured this out, but is it true that we beat St. Johns, we never lost to anyone, but we end up below St. Johns in the final standings? This would be like the CFP then. Oh, you're the obviously better team, but we need these other teams ahead of you anyway.

Is there an "All-Festival" team?
That'd be cool.

To follow the framework of the tournament, it'd be based solely on points scored. No other stats matter, and regardless of strength of opponent.

Side note: I haven't checked if maybe ISU has a couple of players that might "benefit" compared to other teams' players.
 
Who is making money on this tournament, other than the players? Haven't watched any games other than ISU, but even our games were sparsely attended. Is it all just advertising?
 
Would any of our guys even make it?

After the Houston game today they showed some graphic about the best freshman in the tournament. Some guy from Tennesse, Kansas, and Houston, but couldn't even fit Toure on the screen for averaging a pathetic 15 points a game in the 3 days.
It would be very difficult to not include Jefferson. Milan is deserving. Toure should be considered.
 
I'm thinking they could put commercial advertising on each player's headband and generate some serious NIL revenue.

  • Tamin's headband: Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Toure's headband: Pampers
  • Jefferson's headband: Xanax
  • Buchanan's headband: Windex
I'm sure there are lots of good possibilities!
