The Great Lakes Invitational Tournament

[moqui]

more than half the remaining field comes from states bordering the Great Lakes:
4 from Ohio
2 from Wisconsin
1 from Michigan
1 from Indiana
1 from New York

the power in basketball is currently concentrated north of the Ohio River, east of the Mississippi, and west of the Susquehanna

And we are in the Great Lakes Bracket! That is funny.

How can it be called the East bracket -- when we're the only state bordering on the Atlantic that has a team in this regional.

I think its funny that there are 3 Big East vs. Big Ten matchups on Thursday night.

SU vs. Wiscy
Cincy vs. OSU
Louisville vs. Mich St.

Shouldn't this series have happened in November/December?

Each conferences other team gets an SEC team.

Marquette vs. FL
Indiana vs. Kentucky

It's a nice change from football, which is all about the southern teams.

The four "Big East" Sweet 16 teams are from New York, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
