2009 Puerto Rico Tipoff

[wbatchelder]

Has there been any other confirmation of our participation in this BBall tourney? The only thing I can find is our logo scrolling across the "2009 Participating Teams" banner.

Might make a fun trip, especially if JV returns.

Very interesting. It might be a tough trip to make and still get back to Starkville in time for the Egg Bowl, but it's doable.

It lists seven of the eight teams in the writeup but has our logo scrolling with those seven teams at the top. Looks pretty likely we will be down there.

Also, look at the bracket. I understand the first round games are down the middle, and the losers bracket is to the left and the winners to the right. What are the opening round games stuck off to the far left? Why were they necessary? Maybe someone who follows Memphis knows the answer since they played in one.

but this is the first I've heard of Puerto Rico.

But also, it appears to be an ESPN site, so it's probably supposed to be Ole Miss. </p>

1. Are this tournament and the South Padre tournament (MSU is currently booked in the South Padre Invitational) both considered exempt?
2. Can MSU participate in two exempt tournaments in a season?
3. If not, in which tournament will MSU participate if MSU can only choose one tournament?
4. If the Puerto Rico tournament is considered exempt, can MSU call it non-exempt and get the three games MSU needs that way?
5. If Option Four is the route taken, what already scheduled game gets moved from Starkville to Jackson?

Notably Villanova, but Indiana will probably be back in the tournament next year, and Washington State, UAB, and Dayton are usually decent third-tier teams. And we remember George Mason well.

basically. He said there were rats in the locker rooms.

HD6 to respond with "How is that any different than the dump you currently play in?", text A to 67225 (6PACK). If you prefer "Not to mention getting a cab driven by a regular white guy is impossible down there.", text B.
