Here's a link for Weber State competing in a mid major pre season tournament November 23-25. Thought everyone may like it. Here's the link (if I copy & pasted it right.)

I did some quick research on the other teams in this tourney and I like this field even more. Most of the teams had few seniors last year. Here is my wild guess at ranking these teams. Most of the teams appear to be in fairly similar situations.

1. Central Michigan - NIT team last year that only lost 1 senior. Many key pieces return.
2. Murray State - NIT team last year that went undefeated in the regular season. Lost 3 seniors 2 of which were major contributors. Leading scorer returns for his Junior season.
3. Pepperdine - CBI team that beat BYU twice. They were young and inexperienced with no seniors and most freshman and sophomore players.
4. Western Kentucky - Went 20-12 last season. They a few key players but they should be fairly good this season.
5. Duquesne - They look very similar to Weber. Only lost one senior that was a limited contributor.
6. Weber
7. Milwaukee - Lost their leading scorer from last years team.
8. Drake - Only in the number 8 spot because they lost to North Dakota at home and they only won 9 games last year.
