I would hope we get at least one game in before maryland.  Playing them first, with all these newcomers is not ideal.

I live about 40 minutes from Fullerton.  Would I get tickets through our ticket office or theirs?

Other MG, I saw GW play at Fullerton several years ago - I think it was the "Wooden Classic".

As I recall, they played Virginia Tech and University of Miami at Fullerton and before moving over to the Anaheim Pond for the final rounds (where they beat Creighton).

Small arena but not a bad seat in the place - I think they still have "bleacher/bench type seating. Just make sure you get anywhere behind the visitor's bench.

I'm a little surprised GW couldn't schedule another game or 2 while out West to play Fullerton. To spend that kind of money to go there for 1 game against a low D-1 program makes no sense. USC or UCLA would "pay" for a game against us right now. There's also other teams like SDSU, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine in the SoCal area.

I'm hoping JC can start to turn this ship in the right direction so we can get away from this terrible scheduling. Our schedule has absolutely sucked these past several years. My law firm has an international presence so I used to love scheduling "work" trips around GW games. I have no desire to fly out to LA to watch us play Fullerton - unless it's for a baseball game (they have a great history in baseball, not basketball).

Rising, that makes more sense. Hopefully it will be against USC or UCLA - both very good teams who will be in the national rankings but who have a history of occasionally slipping against lower level teams early in the season. Even San Diego State would be great - maybe they want a rematch after losing their last one against us in the NIT!

Rising mentioned a game against a WCC program. Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount are in the LA area if JC wants to stay in the same area. U San Diego isn’t too far away either and there’s four programs in the Bay Area as well that could be driven to (a big drive but doable). Portland, Gonzaga, and BYU are all flights so I doubt it would be them.

My guess: San Diego.

Notre Dame backed out of a game at the Smith Center after they saw who transferred into GW.

Do we know where in Naples they're holding this tournament. Arena etc

 8 schools, 6 with State in their name, and only 1 of these belonging to an actual state.  And they used to be SW Missouri State.  Were Central Connecticut State and Chicago State too busy to play in this?

That said, we would be the 8 seed if based on last year's NET rankings, so there's that.

Quite impressively an unimpressive tournament.
Not that we've been any good at all,but this is the best we can do?
This would hurt even CBI seeding.
