Dates and fields for notable preseason college basketball tournaments in 2010.
Preseason tournament schedule
Tournament Dates Championship Site Teams
Coaches vs. Cancer Nov. 8-12, 18-19 New York
*Illinois, *Maryland, *Pittsburgh, *Texas; College of Charleston, Illinois-Chicago, Louisiana Tech, Navy, Rhode Island, Seattle, Toledo, UC Irvine
(* - automatically advance to championship round)
Would be fantastic for Pitt to do very well in this tournament and then lose to us.
CBE Classic Nov. 14-17, 22-23 Kansas City, Mo. *Duke, *Gonzaga, *Kansas State, *Marquette; Bucknell, Green Bay, IUPUI, James Madison, Miami (Ohio), Presbyterian, Princeton, San Diego State
(* - automatically advance to championship round)
San Diego State can get lots of credibility with a good showing here. No rooting interest for the Vols really but it is always fun to cheer against Duke.
Legends Classic Nov. 14-21, 26-27 Atlantic City, N.J. *Georgia Tech, *Michigan, *Syracuse, *UTEP; Albany, Bowling Green, Detroit, Gardner-Webb, Mercer, Niagara, Western Carolina, William & Mary
(* - automatically advance to championship round)
NIT Season Tip-Off Nov. 15-17, 24, 26 New York Arkansas State, Belmont, Boston U, George Washington, Hampton, Marist, Missouri State, Nevada, Pacific, Pepperdine, Tennessee, UCLA, VCU, Villanova, Wake Forest, Winthrop
Would be very good for our eventual seeding to get 3 wins in this tournament.
Cancun Challenge Nov. 18, 20, 23-24 Cancun, Mexico La Salle, Missouri, Morgan State, North Florida, Prairie View A&M, Providence, Western Illinois, Wyoming
Charleston Classic Nov. 18-21 Charleston, S.C. Charlotte, East Carolina, George Mason, Georgetown, North Carolina State, Wofford, TBA, TBA
We want Charlotte to win this for our strength of schedule.
Puerto Rico Tip-Off Nov. 18-21 San Juan, Puerto Rico Davidson, Hofstra, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Western Kentucky
SEC fans should be rooting for Vanderbilt in this tournament.
Paradise Jam Nov. 19-22 U.S. Virgin Islands Alabama, Clemson, Iowa, Long Beach State, Old Dominion, Seton Hall, St. Peter's, Xavier
Alabama can get some credibility against Clemson and the X men, but this tournament lacks the marquee names you often see here.
Maui Invitational Nov. 22-24 Maui, Hawaii Chaminade, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Virginia, Washington, Wichita State
We want Kentucky, and UConn to succeed in this tournament. Would LOVE to watch Michigan State lose.
76 Classic Nov. 25-26, 28 Anaheim, Calif. CS-Northridge, DePaul, Murray State, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Tulsa, UNLV, Virginia Tech
DePaul will win it all beating Virginia Tech. Just kidding, that is a joke from last year. Would be hilarious though.
Old Spice Classic Nov. 25-26, 28 Orlando, Fla. Boston College, California, Georgia, Manhattan, Notre Dame, Temple, Texas A&M, Wisconsin
Georgia can justify a top 25 rating or not in this tournament. They have the best frontcourt in the tournament. Wisconsin has a strong team as usual.
Diamond Head Classic Dec. 22-23, 25 Honolulu, Hawaii Baylor, Butler, Florida State, Hawaii, Mississippi State, San Diego, Utah, Washington State
Mississippi State has to play against all of these teams without Dee Bost and Renardo Sidney but they lost by 2 in the NIT against North Carolina and they have the talent to make some noise especially against a team like Butler. Baylor also may be without Lacedarius depending on his felony charges handling.
