Wish it was a premier three day but I'll take the two day with this field in NYC - some good teams and a nice platform for the players. Plus, we're going to have very limited roster continuity and the recruiting class won't live up to this season's immediate impact. Will be nice to have some ramp up.

Good tournament for us.

Texas Tech currently has the #6 recruiting class in the country.

Led by #24 Nimari Burnett, who was being recruited by Arizona

And Chibuzo Agbo who was also being recruited by Arizona iirc

Why did this stop being a 16 team field?

Reads like a pretty good program.

No. 14/14 Arizona, the winningest team in the Pac-12 since the conference expanded to 12 teams in 2012, will return to New York City for the first time since winning the 2013 NIT Season Tip-Off title with wins over Drexel and Duke at Madison Square Garden. Head coach Sean Miller has won eight conference titles – regular season and tournament – in his 10-plus seasons in Tucson, a total that is more than all other active Pac-12 coaches combined. The Wildcats have won an average of 26.4 games each year under Miller, the most in program history.

Looks like it was changed in 2014 to 8 teams, with the first half of the games being played on campus (like how we just played LB State as part of the Wooden).
