From Rothstein tweet:

Two teams to monitor in this MTE: Western Kentucky and Tulane.

Hilltoppers will be the team to beat in Conference-USA along with UAB.

Tulane returns EVERYONE from a team that won 14 games last season.

Some decent names in that field...how sweet would it be to play and whip LSU?

Kansas State has a new head coach, Jerome Tang, who has recruited very well and was a very highly regarded assistant at Baylor under Scott Drew.

Scouting Nevada, they have lost their two top scorers from last year. They brought in some good transfers from Seton Hall (Tyler Powell), Oregon State (Jarod Lucas) and Elon (Hunter McIntosh). Their 7 foot center was a 4 star recruit that began his career at Texas. He likes to shoot from three and did not block a lot of shots a year ago. They finished under .500 but played some people tough in what was a good league a year ago.

Our second round game will be against either the winner or loser of the Rhode Island/Kansas State match up.

We are capable of winning this tournament with the potential of beating two name programs in Kansas State and LSU.

Tulane has the best roster and coaching its had in decades. This is a team that can win this Cayman thing and contend for the AAC.
