On a positive note in the 2015-2016 our early season tournament is at the MGM in Las Vegas... That would be one hell of a trip to go watch the team play

The MGM(where I work) is a great arena for a basketball game. I have been many times in the past. The games for that tourney never sell out just an fyi

I'm looking forward to going to this, so long as it's not on/surrounding Thanksgiving. Last year the championship was the night before Thanksgiving:

Looks like my wife and I will be going out to make the games and visit our son. Also it just could be the time for the NASCAR season ending banquet with a lot of NASCAR activities going on for a whole week.

Somenice words from McKillop on the conference in that article and just how tough it is every night.

As a 22 year old recent UMass grad living on the west coast you could say I am pretty darn pumped about being in this tournament next year. Really happy to get our Minutemen close to home (Arizona). Hope to catch up with many of you there and having a nice little section supporting the Maroon & White.

Tourney's website, with info from this past November's games:

Looks like they fell one short in "middleweight" participants.
Travis Ford's gang won it.

The tourney's website has come back to life, confirming all 8 of the teams in the field:

The rest is still skimpy on details.

Just found out the price for the two games for two people is $222.40. May not be going.

It looks like you can get lower sideline seats for $50 each (plus handling) and it covers both games.
