Forgive me if I've missed this: Has MU announced opponents yet?
Looks like we're playing Centenary on Nov. 13:

Does anyone know when tickets for the Old Spice tourney go on sale? Am planning a Florida trip over Thanksgiving, mostly because of MU playing at the Disney sports complex. FYI -- the venue is small, holds only about 6,000. Another reason I want to purchase tickets soonest. Thanks.

Looks like last year the bracket was set end of July and tickets went on sale (http://www.oldspiceclassic.com/oscpressc.html) mid-August. Didn't check to see if they're available through travel packages before that.
Judging by my calendar, looks like Centenary is on a Friday night. I imagine this is opening night.
Also, a couple other educated guesses on scheduling based on past years/tradition:
UWM: November 20/21st (Friday/Saturday)
UW-Madison: December 5th/December 12th

That is a great Thanksgiving tourny for us. Good competition, but nothing too daunting for freshman. It is a toss-up as to who would take tournament. Great chance to play some fellow Jesuit schools.
How will UW and UWM be next year? I know that kid Hughes will be back at UW, but is that it pretty much for them?
UW-Madison will again suck on paper, but will contend for the Big Ten/Eleven title. Just like every year.
