They appear to be the best team in the field and draw an LSU that fell to Coastal Carolina in the Tigers\u2019 tune-up for this event. A personnel note: Georgia Tech gets Glen Rice, Jr. back from suspension beginning with the second game of this event. <\/p>\n<p>I suppose if more than one of these teams made the NCAA tournament, I\u2019d be surprised. But maybe it will be the springboard for somebody.
