As my screen name would indicate, I'm a Valpo fan in Portland, OR.  This year there is a huge basketball tournament to celebrate Phil Knight's 80th Birthday.  Two 8 team brackets, played concurrently: First round on Thanksgiving, Second round on Friday and Championship on Sunday.  I was thinking of catching 1 session (2 games) on Thanksgiving.  Which session do you all think would be best?

1A: Portland State v. Duke and Butler v. Texas
1B: Portland v. UNC and Arkansas v. Oklahoma
2A: Florida v. Stanford and Ohio State v. Gonzaga
2B: UConn v. Oregon and Michigan State v. Depaul

2A No local teams but also no games that look like guaranteed blowouts.

All I can say as a DePaul alum, we have no business being in this. DePaul played ND tough in the opener...for a while and lack of depth set in. ValpoSparty, MSU is going to evisorate them...honestly. The only reason they got in was Georgetown backed out as Ewing didn't want to challenge a new situation too soon against that type of competition. What is sad guys is Valpo would represent this corridor of the country well but again...P5-P6 conferences win.
