This year there seem to be many good teams to pick from, I can't see how the UDM's win-loss record will help them. Also, there have been no big non-HL wins for anybody to take notice of the team.

I took down the post because our school deleted the tweet. You never know the real reason why they took down their tweet. So, just in case there was a misunderstanding, I deleted my post and thread. Turns out to have been too quick a trigger finger by our PR guy.
I am pretty darn sure that we are in. But we will have to wait for official confirmation and the name of our first round opponent and the location of the game.

I’m going to take an early stab at a possible BC first round pairing and say the Titans will open with a road game at Buffalo.

There were just some postings on this board saying we were playing in the classic but they were deleted. What’s going on? Nothing on Twitter about it. Vowels wants to wait and announce it in June or maybe he had the tweet taken down until Monday because with his strong NCAA connections we might still get an at large bid to the Big Dance.

I’d put 0 stock in that guy’s projections. He’s not considering how much teams want to play in these tournaments, which is often based on returning talent, financial resources, geography, and coaching situations.

But I think it does give you at least a little bit of a look at potential matchups. I think the fields of the junior tournaments are much harder to predict because of all the complicating variables you mention.

I know some programs have already officially announced BE accepted invitations, but perhaps the tournament sponsors indicated a preference going forward that schools don’t spill the beans until the entire 32-team field is announced on Sunday night. My guess is that in the excitement of getting the bid after a long period of post-season basketball abstinence, UDM had a premature announciation episode, can happen to anyone. Looking forward to hearing the official word tomorrow and hope it will involve a matchup with a sort of interesting opponent.

Texas A&M is suddenly rolling up everyone in sight. They're up 12 on Arkansas at halftime in an SEC semifinal. Does a win get them a bid, or do they have to win the SEC?

Heard from a good source the Titans will be in the inaugural Basketball Classic tournament. They should know their first round opponent later today. Probably nothing will be announced from UDM until the BE bracket is released.
I hope we can have a long run in the BE. Looks like I will hold off canceling my ESPN+ subscription for now.
