This is the final installment of log5 analysis for November tournaments that have real brackets…<\/p>\n
Great Alaska Shootout<\/u><\/p>\n
The Great Alaska shootout starts tonight and Belmont will attempt to bring the title home to an OVC team for the second consecutive season. The GAS is back on real TV with CBS Sports Network covering six games. The field is still quite weak outside of Belmont, who’s the biggest favorite in any of the November tournaments that have a true bracket.<\/p>\n
Semis Final Champ\nBelmont 93.9 83.2 71.1\nCharlotte 77.6 47.6 12.2\nNortheastern 87.5 14.1 6.6\nOral Roberts 52.4 24.3 4.8\nLoyola Mmt 47.6 21.1 3.9\nTexas St. 22.4 7.0 0.8\nAlaska Anc. 6.1 2.2 0.6\nUC Riverside 12.5 0.4 0.05\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Battle 4 Atlantis<\/u><\/p>\n
These teams are literally battling for a mythical island buried at the bottom of a sea somewhere. There was a time not very long ago when there was a concern ESPN had control over preseason tournaments. Then this season’s Battle 4 Atlantis came along. It’s got a field stronger than Maui (even if one excludes Chaminade from the calculations) and it’s televised by NBC Sports Network. I’m kind of surprised there isn’t more “Duke is a really, really good team” talk. This event could be the jumping off point for that conversation.<\/p>\n
Semis Final Champ\nLouisville 78.4 59.0 35.3\nDuke 50.8 32.0 18.0\nMinnesota 49.2 30.7 17.0\nVCU 54.2 21.2 9.7\nMemphis 45.8 16.1 6.7\nMissouri 54.9 18.1 6.3\nStanford 45.1 13.1 4.0\nNorthern Iowa 21.6 9.9 2.9\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
DirecTV Classic<\/u><\/p>\n
Oh, the delicious irony in a Pac-12 team being the favorite in something called the DirecTV Classic. Cal’s not a huge favorite by any means, but maybe a win will put a little more pressure on the satellite provider to reach a deal with the Pac-12 Network. Drexel is sadly without senior two-guard Chris Fouch for the rest of the season, so mentally adjust their chances accordingly.<\/p>\n
Semis Final Champ\nCal 85.4 62.0 36.7\nSaint Mary's 54.5 37.2 20.9\nDrexel 45.5 29.2 15.1\nXavier 74.6 29.0 12.6\nGeorgia Tech 77.6 29.4 12.0\nDrake 14.6 4.9 1.0\nPacific 25.4 4.5 1.0\nRice 22.4 3.7 0.6\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Old Spice Classic<\/u><\/p>\n
The Old Spice Classic is a who’s who of mediocre power-conference teams with Gonzaga and Davidson thrown in. Davidson is reeling from a loss to Milwaukee, so this has the potential of being a Gonzaga showcase.<\/p>\n
Semis Final Champ\nGonzaga 77.0 64.0 52.4\nDavidson 65.4 43.0 14.9\nWest Virginia 72.2 32.7 8.8\nClemson 23.0 13.7 8.0\nOklahoma 58.2 14.3 7.4\nVanderbilt 34.6 17.6 4.1\nUTEP 41.8 8.0 3.5\nMarist 27.8 6.8 0.9\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is the final installment of log5 analysis for November tournaments that have real brackets… Great Alaska Shootout The Great Alaska shootout starts tonight and Belmont will attempt to bring the title home to an OVC team for the second consecutive season.
