Chicago tourney

[John R]

Is UD the only team in this tourney thats playing 4 games?

What other teams are in besides the 4 that UD is playing?

I could be wrong but it looks like Marquette is only playing 3 games.

According to The Sporting News, Northern Iowa, Chicago State, and Texas Southern are also in the Tourney. It looks like Northern Iowa is playing Texas Southern, Chicago State, Marquette, and Auburn. Marquette this week is playing Texas Southern, Northern Iowa, and Dayton (only one home game). Marquette played Chicago State last week - maybe that was considered part of the Tourney. Auburn this week is playing Bethune-Cookman, Dayton and Northern Iowa, and played Mercer last week - maybe that was also considered part of the Tourney.

It appears that there were 2 groups of teams:

Group 1: Mercer / Texas Southern / Chicago State / Bethune Cookman (2 away games prior to Chicago)
Group 2: Dayton / Auburn / Northern Iowa / Marquette (2 home games prior to Chicago)

Here's the Dayton scoop from the Mercer University point of view. Has some of your answers --

All schools play 4 games. However some play one of the games earlier in the month due to conflicts in available dates close to the Chicago Invitational dates. All schools play 2 games in their "tier" and 2 games in the other "tier".

Marquette's 4th game was 11/17 against Chi State.

Tier one= Dayton, Marq, Northern Iowa, Auburn
Tier two= Mercer, Beth-Cook, Chi State, Tex Southern

Sorry for the redundancy--got interrupted for dinner!!
