This ( in article) sounds promising: "The Scarlet Knights finished the tournament 5-0, with all five wins by at least 25"
and 6 players averaging double digit scoring for the tourney

What I like is the full court pressing defense that creates turn overs and easy baskets.

Great to get the wins, lot faster pace, but who knows what the talent level of the SA teams is compared to what they will face when the season starts. I am cautiously optimistic

Clearly they are a better team. How much better we just don’t know yet.

This is the first time in 8 years that the US team won the tournament. Maybe a few teams were weak., but not all 5. And the margins of victory says we were substantially better than all the teams. I think we are significantly better than last year.

That’s interesting- do you know which colleges played in the previous years?

The University of Providence-Montana is a NAIA school which is generally considered the equivalent of D3, possibly D2 for the best programs. I'm sure Rutgers is gonna be better with coach Redus, but very hard to come to conclusions from this weak competition
