    My favorite pre-season tournament of the year.  I always get jealous watching the people on the beach and swimming in the clear blue water while I freeze on the east coast. We’ll get an early season look at UNC and how they’ll adjust to losing Barnes, Henson, Zeller and Marshall to the NBA.  Mcdonald, Hairston, Bullock and Strickland all return to make the Heels solid on the wings. I’m excited to see how freshman Marcus Paige adjusts to playing PG in Roy Williams demanding system. Texas returns the speedy Myck Kabongo and also has talented incoming freshman Cameron Ridley.  Marquette loses Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom, but should still be very talented under Buzz Williams.  The post Bruce Weber era begins in Illlinois with John Groce.  Mississippi State also has a new coach in Rick Ray and will have lost Renardo Sidney and Arnett Moultrie.  Butler, USC and host Chaminade are also participating.  Should be a good tournament.
