Do you really think Forbes will allow any of the Bucs to compete in this AND the Final Four?

Well spotted.

SoCon John is apparently saying it'll be Bradford, McCloud, and Sibley. Don't have any clue how accurate that is.

Sibley should be well rested since his coach hardly played him in his last game against us. That was very odd to me.

I don't know what the deal was but I think that Sibley was not starting the majority of games down the stretch and his production was way down from previously. I would look up the stats, but my eyes glaze over.

Wonder who the fourth will be. Probably a bigger guy, in case another team has one? That starting three makes sense.

There was a list online two days ago of all the players for all 32 conferences.

The SoCon players were Bradford, Sibley, Denzel-Dyson, and Marvin Smith. However, the rosters won't be finalized until the end of March.

The 32 teams will be seeded into 8 groups of 4 for pool play. The teams will be seeded according to the conference power rating. One pool will consist of #1,#16,#17, and #32 ranked conferences for example. The winner of each group moves to the quarter-finals and a regular win and advance tournament format. So, every team will play at least 3 games.

There will be $100,000 of prize money. Half goes to the winning team and each win for a team before the championship game earns them $1,000.

------------

There is some kind of serious health situation in Sibley's family supposedly, but the people who have said that haven't provided any elaboration. Bob Richey made a vague comment about removing Sibley from the starting lineup to take some pressure off of him.

The four players representing the SoCon will be Stephon Jelks and Ria'n Holland of Mercer, Alex Thompson of Samford, and Marvin Smith of UNCG.

It appears only Marvin Smith of the original 4 from the "wish list" accepted the offer. Others who did not accept were Bradford, Sibley, and Denzel-Dyson

Hard to find easy-to-get info on how it went, but here's a compendium of sites that have a lot of it. Apparently the players liked it a lot.

Big 10 wins it
(About 40% of the way down that page you can see the last 8 leagues in it.)

It was raining money.

But the Big 10 was almost beaten by the SoCon and Marvin Smith

Standouts
Marvin Smith (Southern/UNC-Greensboro): The 6-6 forward was a bright spot in the match against the Big 10. For a while, Southern had the P5 conference on upset alert, thanks to the play of Smith. Smith was locked in from deep and hit a couple twos that were beyond NBA range. He had 11 of Southern’s 19 points in the loss, including a late three that put them up 19-18, but Big 10’s Nate Mason would respond with the game-winner.

Couldn't find a full bracket anywhere, altho I'm sure there's one somewhere.

Good to see Marvin Smith beat up on someone besides us for a change. We hurt us with his offense and defense for 2 years. Glad to see him leave.
