Caymen Islands Classic

Nov. 19-21

Field: Akron vs. Clemson, Georgia vs. Illinois State, St. Bonaventure vs. Georgia State, Boise State vs. Creighton

Led by reigning conference newcomer of the year Milik Yarbrough, Illinois State should be stacked next season. The Redbirds will be early favorites to win the Missouri Valley and could make a huge statement with a win over Georgia...and maybe another against a high-major in this tournament. Rising juniors Keyshawn Evans and Phil Fayne give the Redbirds experience that tends to catch power conference schools off-guard early in the season. Elsewhere in the bracket, St. Bonaventure and Boise State will both take steps back next year, and that’s what makes their games interesting. Georgia State, which returns a ton, could upset the Bonnies, and the Broncos will be thrown into the fire against Creighton.

I wonder what the preseason rankings would be for this tournament. I would guess Clemson would be the favorite, then ISU then a tie between Creighton, St. Bonaventure, Georgia and Boise State maybe?

Mid Major Madness just put out their first podcast for this upcoming season and they spent some time discussing the Birds. A lot of random teams talked about but the segment on the breakout teams starts around 30:15 in. One of the guys picked them as his breakout team for this year. They talk about the big 3, the non con schedule and one of the guys has them winning the valley.

Awesome tournament for us! I hope we can get past the early season struggles that seem to plague us over the years.

Yikes. Just got around to listening.... Aparently we have a h/h with Ball State and a road game with Arkansas.
