Hope your teams win! I do not follow basketball.
It sort of doesn’t matter who wins because it’s early in the season.
Basketball is always interesting this time of year!
Yes, I do love these early basketball tournaments around Thanksgiving. The Christmas tournaments are fun as well.
They are fun, to a degree. I worry that they are designed at times to make money for the university.
Actually, the venue pays the NCAA to hold tournaments. The tournaments boost tourism for the venues that decide to facilitate them.
The universities also get a significant fee for participating in these events.
