This annual tournament is one of the biggest tournaments in the industry, and becoming hailed as champions is a big deal. This year, the tournament is bringing in an impressive lineup filled with some of the best teams in the United States.

First off, we have the Auburn Tigers men's basketball program who represents Auburn University. The team is currently coached by Bruce Pearl. The school competes in the Southeastern Conference in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) With a program beginning in 1906, the Tigers have set their tradition in playing their home games at Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama on the university campus.

Next on the roster is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Men's Basketball team. They represent the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana and are currently coached by Micah Shrewsberry.
